This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 54-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, which establishes limitations on the introduction of legislative bills prepared by executive branch agencies and the judicial branch. Specifically, it stipulates that these entities may only submit a legislative bill for introduction to the legislative assembly if such a submission has been requested by the legislative management or a committee of the legislative management.
The intent of this legislation is to streamline the legislative process by ensuring that bills from the executive and judicial branches are only introduced when there is a direct request from the legislative management, thereby potentially reducing the number of unsolicited bills and enhancing legislative efficiency.
