North Dakota House follows Senate in overriding Gov. Burgum's veto
North Dakota House members have followed the Senate in voting to override a veto of Gov. Doug Burgum on legislative authority.
The House voted 89-3 on Friday morning on Senate Bill 2055, which the Senate "immediately messaged" to the House Thursday after its unanimous override.
The bill seeks to outline or clarify authority of the Budget Section, a group of 42 lawmakers who meet between sessions to approve or reject funding requests, transfers and expenditures of state agencies.
