ND legislature to get new revenue forecast

By Doug Barrett Mar 13, 2021 | 5:38 PM

Improving oil prices and pending federal coronavirus aid have North Dakota lawmakers expecting a slightly better revenue forecast than what was used as a budgetary starting point in January. State budget analysts and economic consultancies on Tuesday will present their budget predictions that will be used as guidelines to craft the state’s upcoming two-year budget. Republican House Appropriations Chairman Jeff Delzer and his Senate counterpart, Ray Holmberg, say lawmakers are expecting increased tax revenues but will be cautious with priorities when they adopt a blueprint. The revenue assumptions are important because the Legislature will use the numbers in making their final spending decisions.
