BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Legislature has missed its goal of finishing its work five days before the constitutional 80-day limit.
Monday is Day 76. Lawmakers had hoped to bank five days so that they could return to the Capitol to address additional impacts from oil price swings.
The session opened in January with 853 measures.
Data from the Legislative Council show 31 bills awaited action late Friday.
North Dakota’s Legislature ended its longest session ever in 2013, when it logged 80 days. Lawmakers met for more than 20 hours straight on the last day of that session.
