N.D. Cent. Code § 52-02-11
The state of North Dakota recognizes its obligation to replace, and hereby pledges the faith of this state that funds will be provided in the future and be applied to the replacement of, any moneys received after July 1, 1941, from the social security board under title III of the Social Security Act [ 42 U.S.C. 501 et seq.], any unencumbered balances relating to the administration of the North Dakota unemployment compensation law in the job service administration fund as of that date, any moneys thereafter granted to the state pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act [48 Stat. 113; 29 U.S.C. 49-49k ], and any moneys made available by the state or its political subdivisions and matched by such moneys granted to the state pursuant to the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act, which the social security board finds have been lost or have been expended because of any action or contingency for purposes other than or in amounts in excess of those found necessary for the proper administration of the North Dakota unemployment compensation law by the social security board. Such moneys must be replaced promptly by moneys appropriated for such purpose from the general funds of this state to the job service administration fund for expenditure as provided in section 52-02-09. The amount of money required for such replacement must be reported promptly by the bureau to the governor and the governor shall report the same to the legislative assembly. This section may not be construed to relieve the state of North Dakota of its obligation with respect to funds received prior to July 1, 1941, pursuant to the provisions of title III of the Social Security Act [ 42 U.S.C. 501 et seq.].
