The bill proposes a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to assess the feasibility of creating a government spending database in North Dakota. The study will focus on several key areas, including the necessary training for school board members and administrators on the database's use, as well as the types of information that should be compiled for each expenditure. This information includes payment details, recipient names, employee positions for personnel payments, and specific educational material descriptions for school districts. Additionally, the study will explore the implementation of standardized categorization for transactions and the potential for the database to offer search capabilities, data aggregation tools, and anonymous salary information.

At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, including any proposed legislation needed to implement these recommendations. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability in government spending by providing a comprehensive and accessible database for public use.
