5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Section 1 applies to allocations the treasurer makes after August 31, 2025. The first and fourth deposits to the state general fund are each $250 million. A later deposit to the strategic investment and improvements fund is $320 million. Allocations on or before August 31, 2025 follow the old schedule.
The law creates an energy impact grant fund in the state treasury. Beginning after June 30, 2027, up to $20 million a year from the 1% oil and 1/5% gas tax goes into the fund. The yearly deposit is the smaller of $20 million or what is available from that allocation. Within 40 days of hitting the yearly limit, or by August 31, the treasurer pays it out: Williston gets 73.88%, Dickinson 15.66%, and Minot 10.46%. Hub cities must use the money to repay debt or cover other costs from oil and gas impacts.
From August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2027, the treasurer sets aside up to 2% of combined oil and gas taxes for research. This set-aside is capped at $17.5 million for the period. The treasurer makes this transfer before other listed allocations.
From September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, the outdoor heritage fund gets 8% of the available revenue, but no more than $7.5 million per year. The fund receives the smaller of those two amounts during this period.
The abandoned well plugging and site reclamation fund cannot exceed $100 million through June 30, 2027. After that date, the cap is $50 million. No more than $7.5 million may be deposited each fiscal year. Deposits also cannot exceed the amount available to deposit.
