North Dakota House lawmakers approve state DOGE task force

North Dakota lawmakers are looking to trim government waste—or at least find out where it might be hiding. House Bill 1442, which passed overwhelmingly in the House, would create a new task force to review state programs and recommend cost-cutting measures.

Supporters say the effort is long overdue, while some wonder if finding efficiencies will ironically require expanding government oversight. The bill now heads to the Senate, where lawmakers will weigh whether this new layer of scrutiny is a path to savings or just another bureaucratic addition. Amy Dalrymple with the North Dakota Monitor has the full story linked below.
