State’s Case Before Court on House Bill 60 Clash
The state argues House Bill 60 cannot override constitutional limits and that two thirds of both houses is required for any act to take effect. Assistant Attorney General Sheets contends the bill seeks to nullify July 1 timing and referendum rights, while defense figures include William Lemke, former ND official, and State officials anticipate swift action at the capitol as the governor may appoint a state sheriff. The dispute centers on powers of the legislature, emergency measures, and referendum procedures amid a high tension political moment.
