The 'North Dakota Legislative Assembly' is the
state legislature of the
U.S. state of
North Dakota. The Legislative Assembly consists of two bodies, the
lower North Dakota House of Representatives and the
upper North Dakota Senate. A Legislative Council and its research, administrative and support staff also assist the Legislative Assembly in its day-to-day activities.
The Legislative Assembly convenes within the 19-story
Art Deco state capitol building in
Bismarck.
Because the House and Senate sit for only 80 days in odd-numbered years, the Legislative Council oversees legislative affairs in the interim periods, doing longer-term studies of issues, and drafting legislation for consideration of both houses at the next session.
