When is North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong took over the agency budget for the budget approved by the legislature, veto veto stva puts. At least it was his intention on Monday. Instead, he accidentally ran $ 35 million for the country’s residential budget.
Now the state comes up with how to deal with the unusual problem of the wrong veto.
“I don’t remember something like this happening in the 37 years I’m here,” John Bjornson, the director of the Legislative Council, said Thursday. “Well, yes, I’d say it’s a little extraordinary.”
Governor’s staff called its veto housing budget in Bill 2014 for 2014. year. Armstrong’s staff met with the legislative council on Thursday morning to discuss options.
“This was a sincere mistake, and we will fix it,” the governor’s statement read.
Armstrong, the Republican who served three concepts at the Congress, was elected Governor in 2024. years. The legislative session delayed earlier in the month was the first as the governor.
In a message that accompanies veto, Armstrong wrote that he intended to veto a $ 150 000 donation to finance the position of the home US homeless. Budget veto would take effect 1. July.
What happens next is largely to the governor, Bjornson said, but it is likely that the legislature will be needed to be re-taking in Bismarck at a special session. The Governor’s Office said he would call a special session if necessary, but he hopes to “avoid costs”.
If the legislative authority overrides the veto, it would include funding for Grant Armstrong wanted to strike. If the legislative authority wants to finance the housing budget for 35 million dollars, MPs may need to forward a new account, which could last as many as three days, Bjornson said.
The legislature has six days available to use the 80-day cut-in-cut border, and a special session can open an opportunity to overpower other veto by governors. The governor has seen all or parts of four accounts this session.
