Representative Rios presented the resolution and framed the proposal around strategic, economic and scientific interests. His floor remarks recounted historical U.S. interest in Greenland dating to the 19th and 20th centuries, noted the presence of Thule Air Base and argued Greenland's rare earth element, titanium and hydrocarbon resources could become strategically important in coming decades. The presentation listed large-scale resource estimates for rare earth oxides and hydrocarbons and discussed Greenland's potential in Arctic shipping and defense posture.

The resolution advances an unconventional state-level appeal to federal leaders; the sponsor and presenter characterized it as a proactive position on national strategy rather than an immediate policy change at the state level. The floor exchange did not develop into an extended back-and-forth in the available transcript, and the excerpt does not include the final recorded vote or any committee action beyond the read statement. The House moved the measure to final consideration during the session, but the transcript segment provided does not show a final outcome.

Because the resolution calls on federal action and international diplomacy, it is advisory: state legislatures cannot themselves annex foreign territory. The floor record centers on Rios's presentation of resource figures and strategic rationale rather than procedural amendments or fiscal impacts.","Representative Rios read a lengthy resolution (HCR 3026) urging federal pursuit of a peaceful annexation of Greenland, citing strategic and resource considerations; the House took the resolution up for final consideration but the transcript does not record a final vote.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326910,"House approves bill barring state funding for public broadcasting after floor debate over gaming revenue and towers",1249,5101000,6350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323605-21bfc42c512091ce2b3b9f49543e8794&start=5101&end=6350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323605-21bfc42c512091ce2b3b9f49543e8794/thumbnail_5101000.jpg","/articles/6326910/North-Carolina/House-approves-bill-barring-state-funding-for-public-broadcasting-after-floor-debate-over-gaming-revenue-and-towers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326910-69f0a161d8443087fa9aa0e9fde790b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432683&Signature=DcXCYvN4pz9c-YmwmBe46pIiAkSiP6SxvGOIMK5FtxC~pf8~Hfse-VZTZdqmBTJ67yHxXLcPDBxzl7Ii9uC8E88n6abO0V5wMfJO~KH25lPMoz1DfxFJrBzkEcNOr88NvHNBKi3f-Zaewbp7U5yyAOnO4R~CJ~PM0AIsdRDVwlxzUjxu7RS45W0RNx2U--twUaIDpQSGawVmudunvJo7KL6K8Ai0KHa~LZc~Xi5R9pbbzJSYZfk5Ei8dcjZPCKog3BB2CWrs1uq5jD9Hhu9V3I6pa3MHupWkIqMmPGt7QIu1buXCu4ngRqn5QEJOSJjrjFhMNuNuzvsuPr8h9cNS6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Dakota House passed House Bill 12 55 on a 48-41 vote, a measure that would prohibit the use of public funds to support public broadcasting operations. The bill would affect the ongoing appropriation historically recorded for Prairie Public Broadcasting.

Appropriations Committee members recommended a \"do not pass\" position after reviewing the organization's finances and fundraising sources. Representative Murphy, speaking for the committee, summarized concerns raised during committee questioning about Prairie Public's financial statements, charitable gaming revenues and the broadcaster's reserve position.

Committee testimony described the current ongoing appropriation for Prairie Public at $1,200,000 for the biennium and noted Prairie Public's fiscal-year figures and reserves. The committee record (as summarized on the floor) showed Prairie Public with $36 million in assets and $16.7 million in total reserves; the organization reported gaming net proceeds of roughly $1.7 million in its most recent fiscal year and a gaming trust fund balance of $1,519,813 as of Dec. 31, 2024. Prairie Public told the committee that passage of the bill would have a negative effect on K-12 educational programming and said it is not pursuing the purchase of a drinking establishment.

Representative Jay Johnson, the bill sponsor, argued that in the era of streaming and abundant online educational content, continued taxpayer funding for public broadcasting is unnecessary and that Prairie Public can sustain operations through membership, charitable gaming and private gifts.

Opponents on the floor and in committee warned that state support helps pay for infrastructure as well as programming. Representative Nelson noted that some state funding supports the transmission towers used to carry public broadcasting across the state, including remote areas and tribal communities.

The final recorded vote was 48 yeas, 41 nays; the bill was declared passed on the House floor. The statutory change in the bill text would create a new section of chapter 54-27 of the North Dakota Century Code limiting public fund support for public broadcasting.","The House passed House Bill 12 55, which prohibits use of public funds to support public broadcasting, 48-41 after committee testimony and extended floor debate about Prairie Public's finances and the use of charitable gaming revenue.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326915,"House adopts resolution urging support for enhanced oil recovery and carbon-capture technology",556,2183000,2739000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323605-21bfc42c512091ce2b3b9f49543e8794&start=2183&end=2739","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323605-21bfc42c512091ce2b3b9f49543e8794/thumbnail_2183000.jpg","/articles/6326915/North-Carolina/House-adopts-resolution-urging-support-for-enhanced-oil-recovery-and-carbon-capture-technology","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326915-6dd9edc4936287376099ef3edb9e5c43/orig.mp4?Expires=1770432683&Signature=R100s5Xcu6Phf8B8nXnbg9TCFcZDi0ZlvTnrqb3Lc8he37KxDf46pnAiXjEtU-4LBERDjaz~8BgY29b0twQaMhPhb5jfsGaJAXfOwQHswYd5oXROSc815WSpFh44vTg7ccWak7Zr1A77gBOTK-PFixtBr7BIt~VBaZV8evCe7EBztoqEgCQIIpFWFgjifvniZWOFqWnx~xHfq27ib~1EiG07nXyF3ShUh~8eGjzOED-x-05un~Cx623fJsdlmjODmfFrmWHZZ-0cxc4s6EIEeS6UZMYYIKY~0hzKPyJKA9AorFwbBowmCpsInWXAR-3kwRMNzfzYb0meWnTZ4vsYoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Dakota House adopted House Concurrent Resolution 3016 on the floor, directing support for enhanced oil recovery methods — including projects that use captured carbon dioxide — and encouraging state and federal policies favorable to carbon-capture development.

The resolution asks state and federal governments to maintain policies that support development of carbon capture, utilization and storage, and to view captured CO2 as a commodity that can extend production in formations such as the Bakken.

Representative Hager, reading the Energy and Natural Resources Committee report, described the Bakken as a major energy source and said its output could be increased by EOR. \"The Bakken formation . . . currently produces approximately 1,200,000 barrels of oil per day,\" Hager said, adding that EOR techniques could unlock additional recoverable resources and extend the formation's productive life.

Opponents pressed the House on the role of government in developing a market for CO2. Representative Hoverson criticized the policy approach as government-created market intervention, calling it \"crony capitalism\" and arguing that federal tax incentives like \"45Q\" mean the market is being shaped by subsidies rather than private demand. \"This is not a business friendly free market . . . it's corporate welfare,\" Hoverson said.

Supporters responded that the technology is proven in other jurisdictions and can revive older fields. Representative Nelson noted that CO2 EOR has been used in neighboring jurisdictions for years and said the resolution focuses on using CO2 in energy production rather than permanent sequestration. Representative Jay Olson, citing visits to Canadian projects, said the technology \"works\" and credited EOR with extending the life of conventional fields.

The resolution passed on the floor and was declared adopted. The measure is a nonbinding expression of the House's position and does not itself enact regulatory changes or appropriate funds.

The debate highlighted a split between members emphasizing immediate economic benefits for the state's energy sector and those warning that state endorsement risks promoting a government-created market supported by federal incentives.","The North Dakota House passed House Concurrent Resolution 3016 urging continued support for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and carbon-capture technology, prompting debate over economic benefits and government involvement in the market.","actionData","errors"]
