ノースダコタ州上院は,国家の一般資金の1%を金銀に投資し,金庫の建設と安全のための高額な費用をいう旨の法案を却下した. The North Dakota Senate rejected a bill that would have required the state treasurer to invest 1% of the state's general fund in gold and silver, citing high costs for vault construction and security. 議会で可決された法案は 2年間で4,000万ドルを貴金属に投資することを目指しているが, 批評家は利益が費用を正当化していないと主張している. The bill, which passed the House, aimed to invest $40 million in precious metals over two years, but critics argued the benefits did not justify the expenses. 元老院は34-13の法案に反対票を投じた. The Senate voted against the bill 34-13.
