The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to explore the potential benefits of allowing legislators to hire personal legislative staff. This initiative is prompted by the anticipated turnover due to term limits, emphasizing the need to provide current and future legislators with adequate support to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. The resolution suggests that having personal staff could enhance legislators' ability to plan, prioritize, and delegate tasks, ultimately increasing their productivity in serving the citizens of the state.
Furthermore, the resolution calls for a comprehensive study that includes an examination of how other states have implemented similar staffing options for their legislators. The findings and recommendations from this study, along with any necessary legislation to put these recommendations into action, are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
