Bill > HB1202

This bill designates $3,000,000 from the flexible transportation fund to be distributed as a one-time grant to a specific county during the 2025-2027 biennium. The grant is specifically related to a county that has been impacted by a state supreme court case concerning a drainage project. The funds can be used exclusively for expenses associated with the drainage project, which may include litigation costs, inflationary expenses, and other project-related expenditures. The bill provides an exemption to existing funding designations and requirements under section 24-02-37.3, allowing the North Dakota Department of Transportation director to distribute the grant within the limits of legislative appropriations. The targeted, specific nature of this grant suggests it is addressing a particular legal and infrastructural challenge faced by a specific county, with the funding intended to help resolve ongoing drainage project issues.
