A concurrent resolution directing the Legislative Management to consider studying the feasibility and desirability of establishing a state-owned association for the development and production of oil and gas.

SCR 4026 is a concurrent resolution directing North Dakota's Legislative Management to study whether creating a state-owned association for oil and gas development would be feasible and desirable. The resolution specifically asks for an analysis of establishing such an entity to handle exploration, extraction, transportation, processing, and sales of oil and gas products, aiming to replicate models like the Bank of North Dakota. It would not create the association itself but would require a report with recommendations to the next legislative session. This resolution directly affects state government operations by initiating a study, not by changing laws or impacting citizens or businesses. The bill failed to pass during the 2025 legislative session after committee review.
