ND MonitorNorth Dakota Republican lawmakers are set to discuss a possible special session to ban the substance kratom and address a fundraising shortfall of the state Military Gallery, which has paused construction. Hogue confirmed the Military Gallery funding was a topic for a potential special session, but would not comment further Wednesday. Armstrong spokesperson Mike Nowatzki said Wednesday the office did not have a statement on a potential special session. Bekkedahl, R-Williston, said at the time the only way to address that would be during a legislative session. North Dakota lawmakers met in a three-day special session in January, primarily related to Rural Health Transformation Program funding.
