N.D.C.C. § 57-15-22.2 — Township legal contingency funding

The board of township supervisors of an organized township or the board of county
commissioners for an unorganized township, may provide funding from revenue derived from
the general fund levy authority for the township levy on property within the township for a legal
contingency expenditure. Funding authorized under this section may be used only for purposes
of expenses of legal actions authorized or entered into by the governing body of the township or
the county, on behalf of unorganized townships. A levy under this section authorized by electors
of an organized or unorganized township before January 1, 2015, remains effective for five
taxable years or the period of time for which it was approved by the electors, whichever is less .
Upon expiration of any mill levy authorized by electors of an organized or unorganized township
before January 1, 2015, under this section, the governing body of the township or county may,
by resolution, transfer any unobligated balance in the legal contingency fund to the general fund
of the township or county.
