North Dakota Legislative Assembly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The North Dakota Legislative Assembly is the state legislature of the U.S. state of North Dakota. The Legislative Assembly consists of two bodies, the lower North Dakota House of Representatives and the upper North Dakota Senate. A Legislative Council and its research, administrative and support staff also assist the Legislative Assembly in its day-to-day activities.

The Legislative Assembly convenes within the 19-story Art Deco state capitol building in Bismarck.

Because the House and Senate sit for only 80 days in odd-numbered years, the Legislative Council oversees legislative affairs in the interim periods, doing longer-term studies of issues, and drafting legislation for consideration of both houses at the next session.
