Bill > SB2006

This bill provides an appropriation for the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission for the 2025-2027 biennium, allocating a total of $126,103,048 from various funding sources. The appropriation covers salaries and wages, operating expenses, and grants, with $475,000 coming from the general fund and the remainder from other funds. The bill includes significant funding for airport infrastructure and generational airport projects, specifically allocating $20,000,000 from the airport infrastructure fund for airport grants and $90,000,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund for major airport projects. These projects include $45,000,000 for the Fargo commercial terminal expansion, $20,000,000 for the Grand Forks primary runway reconstruction, and $25,000,000 for the Dickinson terminal construction. The bill provides flexibility for unexpended funds to be carried over to the next biennium and includes a special provision for the Dickinson airport project, requiring the city to use hub city debt relief funding for related debt repayments. Additionally, the bill exempts certain airport project funds from standard state budget restrictions, allowing for more flexible use of the appropriated funds.
