The North Dakota House of Representatives on the floor adopted the conference committee report on House Bill 1,005, the appropriation bill for the office of the state treasurer, and passed the bill with the emergency clause.

The conference committee report, moved by Representative Kapanek, said the House accepted Senate amendments that removed the unclaimed property division as included in the House version and instead added $100,000 in equity-related funding and $295,000 for information technology. Representative Kapanek said the committee “folded like a cheap suit in conference committee” but summarized the net changes and moved the report.

The bill, as read on the floor, includes an amendment to reenact section 54-11-13 of the North Dakota Century Code relating to the salary of the state treasurer and carries an emergency clause.

On final consideration the clerk recorded the vote: 85 yeas and 4 nays. House Bill 1,005 was declared passed and the emergency clause carries.

Discussion on the floor was limited to the conference report presentation and procedural votes; no additional floor amendments or referrals were recorded in the transcript.

The House will transmit the enrolled bill for the usual processing required by law.
