Section 1-02-09 - Irreconcilable statutes or constitutional amendments passed during the same session1. Whenever the provisions of two or more statutes passed during the same session of the legislative assembly are irreconcilable, the statute latest in date of final passage by the legislative assembly, irrespective of the date on which it was approved or allowed to become law by the governor or of its effective date, prevails from the time it becomes effective. However, whenever a provision of one or more statutes repeals a law and a provision of one or more statutes passed later during the same session of the legislative assembly amends that law, the provision amending the law prevails from the time it becomes effective only if: a. The legislative council determines the intent of the legislative assembly was to retain the amended law as an independent law; orb. The provision amending the law has an earlier effective date than the effective date of the provision repealing the law, in which case the amendment prevails from its effective date until the effective date of the provision repealing the law.2. Whenever two or more concurrent resolutions, adopted during the same session of the legislative assembly, propose to create or amend, or amend and repeal, the same section of the Constitution of North Dakota, the secretary of state, in consultation with the attorney general, shall determine if the proposals are irreconcilable, and if they are irreconcilable, the resolution last adopted by the legislative assembly, as determined by the legislative council, must be placed on the ballot for the appropriate election for approval or disapproval by the electorate.
