Committee recommends ‘due pass’ for resolution naming Chuck Suchi first state troubadour
Summary
The Political Subdivisions Committee voted to give a due-pass recommendation to House Concurrent Resolution 3008, which designates Chuck Suchi as North Dakota’s first state troubadour for a five-year term; the committee endorsed placing the resolution on the consent calendar.
The House Political Subdivisions Committee voted to give a “due pass” recommendation to House Concurrent Resolution 3008, which designates Chuck Suchi as the first state troubadour of North Dakota for a five-year term until a successor is selected. Representative Nathan Toman introduced the resolution in committee and described the measure as a designation of a state cultural position.
Why it matters: The resolution is ceremonial and creates a named role — a state troubadour — intended to recognize and promote cultural contributions, similar in concept to a poet laureate. The committee advanced the resolution with unanimous support and recommended it for the consent calendar.
Committee action and vote: Representative Haddlestad moved a due-pass recommendation; Representative Osterley seconded the motion. The clerk recorded the vote as 13 yeas, 0 nays, 0 absent/not voting. The committee chair recommended placing the measure on the consent calendar after the vote.
Ending: The committee completed its business on HCR 3008 after the unanimous vote and consent-calendar recommendation and moved to the next items on the agenda.
