5 bills make it to North Dakota special session

North Dakota has called a special session to address five specific bills, primarily focusing on kratom regulation and a ban on synthetic substances. While these measures have advanced to the legislative agenda, other high-profile topics were excluded. Specifically, proposals regarding a pause on data centers and clemency related to the Kahl shootout did not make the cut. However, the legislature will still debate non-disclosure deals associated with data centers during this upcoming special session.
