N.D. Attorney General opinion: Sept. 15 Tuesday, September 15, 2020

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has issued an opinion that the North Dakota Transmission Authority has the statutory authority to acquire an existing transmission facility. N.D.C.C. 17-05-06 requires the Transmission Authority to publish notice and provide a comment period before constructing a transmission facility. As the Transmission Authority wishes to acquire an existing facility, the requirements of N.D.C.C. 17-05-06 do not apply.
