Bill > HF693

This bill provides funding for the Red River mediation agreement by appropriating $350,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of natural resources. The appropriation is specifically designated to support grants that will cover up to 50 percent of the costs associated with implementing the Red River mediation agreement. The bill aims to provide financial assistance for what appears to be a collaborative effort to resolve issues related to the Red River region, which likely involves managing water resources, land use, or other environmental and territorial considerations between jurisdictions along the river. By offering partial grant funding, the state is supporting the implementation of a negotiated agreement while also requiring local or other partners to contribute matching funds.
