North Dakota HB1601 amends the North Dakota Century Code to establish rules for the appointment, revocation, and compensation of special assistant attorneys general. The bill specifies that the attorney general must consult with the head of the service before making appointments. It prohibits state officers, departments, boards, commissions, committees, or agencies from employing legal counsel. Instead, the attorney general can appoint special assistant attorneys general to represent these entities.
