The proposed amendments to House Bill No. aim to update section 54-03-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, which governs the scheduling of the legislative assembly's sessions. The bill specifies that the legislative assembly will meet in December following the election of its members for organizational and orientation purposes, and will then recess until it reconvenes annually at a date and time determined by the legislative management, but no later than January 11 of each year. The amendments also clarify that the assembly will convene for a number of days to be determined within a seventy-day period each year.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that allows the legislative management to determine the structure and logistics of the legislative session. This change aims to provide more flexibility in scheduling and organizing the assembly's activities. The effective date for these amendments is set for January 1, 2027.
