AN ACT to amend and reenact section 48-10-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the power and duties of the capitol grounds planning commission.

This procedural bill updates the legal text defining the commission's powers and duties but does not change its operational functions or affect specific groups.

As a technical code revision, it does not introduce new policies or impact constituents directly.

MODERATE
This bill removes a new 'Facility Construction Committee' that was previously proposed to review state construction projects over $2 million. The bill retains the existing Capitol Grounds Planning Commission's authority to oversee artistic and aesthetic aspects of capitol grounds projects but eliminates the separate committee that would have reviewed facility construction projects and reported findings to the commission.
Scope change
The bill's scope was reduced by removing the creation of a new Facility Construction Committee that would have reviewed state facility construction projects exceeding $2 million. The Capitol Grounds Planning Commission's existing powers remain unchanged.
REQUIREMENT

Eliminated the requirement to create a new Facility Construction Committee with seven House members and six Senate members to review state facility construction projects over $2 million.

Removed the requirement that state agencies inform the legislative council about construction agreements exceeding $2 million for facilities not under higher education control.

Eliminated the requirement that the new Facility Construction Committee report findings to the Capitol Grounds Planning Commission regarding construction projects on capitol grounds.

The Capitol Grounds Planning Commission retains its existing authority to approve or disapprove construction projects on capitol grounds and to accept gifts for exterior placement, but no longer receives reports from a separate facility construction committee.
