SCR 4001 North Dakota Senate · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A concurrent resolution authorizing the Budget Section of the Legislative Management to hold the required legislative hearings on state plans for the receipt and expenditure of new or revised block grants passed by Congress.

SCR 4001 authorizes North Dakota's Budget Section of Legislative Management to hold required public hearings on state plans for federal block grants (like community services grants) after the legislature adjourns. It directly affects how the state reviews and approves federal funding under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, ensuring hearings can occur even when the legislature is not in session. The resolution delegates this hearing authority to the Budget Section from adjournment through September 30, 2027, using methods the section determines appropriate. This is a procedural measure to meet federal requirements for block grant oversight.
