N.D. Cent. Code § 11-09.1-10
11-09.1-10. Effect of amendment or repeal on salary or term of office
11-09.1-10. Effect of amendment or repeal on salary or term of office
On the first day of January following repeal of a home rule charter, the county reverts to the
form of government of the county immediately preceding adoption of the home rule charter. If
positions to which officials were elected under the home rule charter are substantially the same
as positions under the form of government to which the county reverts upon repeal, the elected
officials shall continue to exercise the authority of their positions for the salary prescribed by the
home rule charter until expiration of their terms of office as prescribed by the home rule charter.
No amendment of a home rule charter may shorten the term for which any official was elected
or reduce the salary of the official's office for that term.
