The resolution calls for the Legislative Management to explore the potential benefits of allowing legislators in North Dakota to hire personal legislative staff. This initiative is prompted by the anticipated turnover due to legislative term limits, emphasizing the need for adequate support for both current and future legislators 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 mandates that the Legislative Management conduct a study that includes an examination of how other states have implemented personal legislative staff. 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.
