Bismarck, N.D. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner says lawmakers may be called back into session over legislation that limits the powers of the state auditor.

The Legislature passed a measure late in the session that requires the auditor’s office to get lawmakers’ permission to conduct “performance audits.”

The amendment was put in the auditor’s budget that passed unanimously in the Senate and by a large margin in the House. Wardner says he didn’t know the amendment had been put in the budget bill and thinks other senators didn’t, either.

Wardner tells The Associated Press that he and House Minority Leader Chet Pollert will meet with Auditor Josh Gallion next week to discuss the issue and how it will affect the agency.

Leaders can recall the Legislature if they haven’t used all their allotted days.
