ND SB2300

Dissolves the permanent Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations and replaces it with temporary task forces appointed by legislative management based on specific study directives from legislative bills or resolutions.

Task forces must have a majority of members from the legislative assembly, with additional representatives from political subdivisions (selected from nominees of cities, counties, townships, parks associations, and school boards) and may include the governor or designee.

Legislative management designates the chairman and vice chairman of each task force and determines its study directive, with task forces meeting at the call of their chairman rather than on a fixed semiannual schedule.

Task force members who are legislators receive compensation at interim committee rates plus travel reimbursement, while political subdivision representatives may be reimbursed by their appointing organizations.

Task forces report findings and recommendations to legislative management following interim committee procedures, with proposed legislation requiring approval by a majority of all task force members and a majority of the legislative assembly members on each task force.
