Armstrong signs executive order dissolving five inactive boards; calls for broader review of 154 boards and commissions
Summary
The governor said state government has 154 boards and commissions, signed an executive order dissolving five that had not met in over a year, and asked the legislature to create a task force to review which boards should be dissolved, combined, or retained.
Governor Kelly Armstrong said North Dakota has 154 boards and commissions and announced he signed an executive order that dissolved five boards that had not met in over a calendar year. He said Senator Rohrs and Representative Louser plan to introduce a bill to create a task force to review all boards and report before the next legislative session on which should be dissolved, combined, or retained.
Armstrong framed the effort as part of shrinking government and reducing unnecessary costs, and he asked the legislature to act on a task force bill to recommend broader consolidation and dissolution. The governor did not specify the names of the five boards dissolved by executive order; he said the groups had not met in over a calendar year.
