This bill establishes a new legislative task force on government efficiency within the North Dakota Century Code. The task force will be created by the legislative management and will consist of various members, including the director of the office of management and budget, the chief operating officer for the office of the governor, an elected statewide officer, a resident appointed by the governor, and three members each from the house of representatives and the senate. Members will serve two-year terms, and the task force will be chaired by a member selected by the chairman of the legislative management. The task force is tasked with meeting quarterly, reviewing budgets and reports from executive branch agencies, and identifying areas for increased efficiency and cost-saving measures.

Additionally, the task force will evaluate the effectiveness of existing programs and laws, request program evaluations from the state auditor or an independent firm, and submit an annual report to the legislative management detailing its findings and recommendations. Members who are state employees will receive their regular salary and reimbursement for expenses, while legislative members will receive per diem compensation. The legislative council will provide staffing and administrative support for the task force until July 31, 2031, after which the act will expire. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate importance.
