North Dakota senators advance bill to abolish Gaming Commission
North Dakota senators Janne Myrdal and Larry Luick introduced a bill proposing to transfer the Gaming Commission’s administrative responsibilities to the Attorney General. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 4-3 on 28 January 2025 to advance it for further debate; lawmakers were expected to review it on 29 January before it went to the Senate floor. Myrdal said concerned entities had raised the possibility of eliminating the commission.
The proposal would give the Attorney General responsibility for approving gambling rules without the commission’s review.
