ND Legislature getting organized this week

Posted: Updated:

The North Dakota Legislature is preparing this week for the start of the 2013 session in January.

It's called the "organizational session, and it starts Monday. It ends Wednesday after Gov. Jack Dalrymple gives his budget recommendations to lawmakers.

Dalrymple says his budget will have a number of sweeping proposals. He says they'll be in line with the agenda he talked about during his election campaign.

Lawmakers are taking their oaths of office Monday, and picking out the desks they'll use for the next five months.

The biggest job for legislative leaders is to choose committee members. The Education and Judiciary committees in the House and Senate will be getting new chairmen.

The regular session starts Jan. 8.
