This bill proposes the creation of two new designations within the North Dakota Century Code: the state waltz and the state troubadour. The state waltz is designated as "Dancing Dakota," which was written and composed by Chuck Suchy. This new section will be added to chapter 54-02 of the code.
Additionally, the bill establishes a process for appointing an official state troubadour or trobairitz, which will be overseen by the chairman of the North Dakota Council on the Arts. The appointed troubadour will serve a term of five years, with provisions for filling any vacancies that may arise during the term. This new section will be added to chapter 54-54 of the code, and the appointment of the official state troubadour will occur at the conclusion of the term of the inaugural troubadour appointed by the sixty-ninth legislative assembly.
