Bill > HB1369

This bill makes several technical amendments to various sections of North Dakota law related to school funding, construction, and taxation. Key provisions include modifying the baseline funding calculation for school districts by adjusting the state aid payment formula, changing the reimbursement process for boarding care costs for students with disabilities, updating the Coal Development Trust Fund loan program to allow for specific loans for air force base school construction projects, revising the School Construction Assistance Revolving Loan Fund to adjust maximum loan amounts and eligibility criteria, raising the public improvement construction threshold from $200,000 to $250,000, updating bonding requirements for public improvement contractors, and modifying school district levy restrictions. The bill also includes staggered effective dates, with some provisions taking effect in July 2025 and others in January 2025. The changes aim to provide more flexibility and financial support for school districts while establishing clearer guidelines for construction projects and funding mechanisms.
