BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum has finished signing bills sent to him by the North Dakota legislature.
The legislature adjourned April 30 and Burgum had 15 business days to address the 45 bills that remained on his desk.
During the session, the legislature sent 590 bills to the governor’s desk. Of those, Burgum signed 583, vetoed seven bills in their entirety, and partially vetoed one – the Office of Management and Budget appropriations bill.
“Strong cooperation between the legislature and executive branch produced historic results this session, including a $515 million tax relief package and strategic investments in workforce, child care, education, infrastructure and other priorities, all while maintaining healthy reserves,” Burgum said. “While the budget approved by the legislature is considerably larger than our executive budget proposal, the investments made in the citizens of North Dakota and the infrastructure and programs they use every day have left our state well-positioned to grow our economy, attract and retain workforce and strengthen our communities.”
