Funding for North Dakota National Guard
The law provides about $138.72 million for North Dakota National Guard expenses from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This includes $20.94 million from the general fund. Funding includes $47.97 million for capital assets, $68.67 million for the Army Guard contract, and $3.36 million for tuition, recruiting, and retention. The total includes $7.21 million from the Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund for specified projects. During this period, the state budget director must transfer up to $500,000 in existing spending authority for operating expenses or capital assets when the Adjutant General requests it.
Funding for Disaster Response and Recovery
The law provides about $206.34 million for North Dakota emergency services from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This includes $9.89 million from the general fund, $153.01 million for disaster costs, and $27.79 million for grants. The total includes $1.02 million from the Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund for radio communications. It also includes $11.80 million from the State Disaster Relief Fund for specified disaster needs. This funding supports emergency response and recovery but sets no direct household payment or eligibility rule.
Landowners Protected From Camp Grafton Takings
The Adjutant General cannot use eminent domain to take private land for the Camp Grafton expansion. This protects owners whose land is considered for that project. The provision lists no specific start or end date.
Extra Deposits Support Veterans' Cemetery Operations
The law makes extra deposits to the veterans' cemetery maintenance fund available for North Dakota veterans' cemetery operations. This authority covers July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, and adds to the cemetery's regular funding. The money must be received and deposited under the state laws governing those deposits. The law sets no dollar amount for this extra funding.
Unspent Guard and Grant Funds Continue
Specified unspent funds remain available from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, instead of expiring. These include $9 million for Camp Grafton's fitness facility and about $3.36 million for Guard tuition assistance, recruiting, and retention. They also include $314,000 for cybersecurity grants and $225,000 for flood mitigation grants. Remaining funds can continue for the Dickinson readiness center, bridge training site, Camp Grafton expansion, and state active-duty software and maintenance. Only the listed funds qualify; this carryover does not create new household payments.
