North Dakota lawmakers will return to Bismarck next week to prepare for the 2023 Legislature. The three-day organizational session that begins Monday includes appointment to committees and briefings on legislative procedures and ethics. It also includes such mundane tasks as filling out paperwork and desk selection. The session concludes Wednesday, shortly after Gov. Doug Burgum presents his two-year budget recommendations to a joint session of the House and Senate. The Legislative session begins Jan. 3. The 2021 Legislature adjourned after 76 days, just short of the 80-day maximum set by the North Dakota Constitution.
