BISMARCK, N.D. – The 2021 North Dakota Legislature is reaching its finale in a session marked by a record-high state budget, the first-ever expulsion of a lawmaker and pandemic protocols that greatly dampened public participation at the state Capitol.
Lawmakers were set for a marathon day that legislative leaders believed would end late Thursday or early Friday. Thursday was Day 76 for the Legislature, just short of the 80-day maximum set by the North Dakota Constitution.
The Legislature will use the remaining days later in the year to approve new legislative districts.
