North Dakota Senate votes to override Gov. Kelly Armstrong’s 1st veto
The North Dakota Senate voted 45-2 on Thursday to override Gov. Kelly Armstrong’s first veto, rejecting his concerns about a proposed tax credit for prison industries. Senate Bill 2261, which creates a tax credit to support Rough Rider Industries at the State Penitentiary, faced criticism from Armstrong for potentially giving an unfair advantage over out-of-state manufacturers. Despite the governor’s concerns, the Senate advanced the override effort. The House now needs a two-thirds majority to finalize the veto override.
SB 2261
A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 57-38 and a new subdivision to subsection 7 of section 57-38-30.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a prison industries workforce development income tax credit; to provide for a legislative management study; and to provide an effective date.
House Sponsors: Nelson (R, District 14), Schauer (R, District 13),
Senate Sponsors: Klein (R, District 14), Barta (R, District 43), Kessel (R, District 39),
