2024 ND Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Doug Burgum: Special legislative session for $46M tax cut

Gov. Doug Burgum today expressed disappointment after state Senate members rejected an income tax relief bill that would have saved taxpayers $46 million and effectively eliminated the state income tax for an additional 50,000 wage earners. Burgum called lawmakers to Bismarck for this week's special session to address the 2023-2025 appropriations bill, as well as to make strategic investments in tax relief and infrastructure.

Despite the House overwhelmingly approving the income tax relief in House Bill 1549 on a 71-19 vote, the Senate voted 16-31 to defeat the bill today. "This is a missed opportunity. Senators could have followed the House's lead and deliver much-needed tax relief to North Dakotans struggling with high inflation. Instead, they squandered that opportunity." Burgum said.

"This tax relief was a no-brainer: The citizens have the need, and we definitely have the resources. Current information shows our state's financial position is stronger than ever," Burgum said.
