Message: <blockquote data-quote="NM 24" data-source="post: 258805" data-attributes="member: 1473">I am sad to see that the language concerning the land access study in the version of HB 1021 that was passed was changed at some point to more closely mirror what was in SB 2315 (which was voted down for reasons including developing and implementing an electronic land access database and posting application system) than an earlier version of this bill at the link below from about April 19th as I understand it.  I fear this changed wording may in addition to just provide for studying the matter may allow the committee and/or legislative management to proceed with fully developing and implementing the electronic land access database and online posting application (at yet unknown cost without further public input/comment) for said trial use within the biennium, especially as I understand that this HB 1021 is an appropriations bill.  Pro HB 2315 legislature members that responded to me disagree with my interpretation of this wording, saying it does not automatically provide funding, committee would have to come up with a way to fund it, request funding, be approved, etc.  I don't know.  However, I am concerned once the money has been spent to fully develop an electronic system and online posting application and implemented for trial use in three counties (most likely the lion's share of the cost of a fully implemented system) it is only a very small step from there to be fully implemented and probably statewide, even if for no other reason to try and justify the money that has already been spent.  Perhaps someone more learned than me about legislative process will see it differently.<a href="https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/66-2019/documents/19-0209-04000.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/66-2019/documents/19-0209-04000.pdf</a></blockquote>
