Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Patrol officers get monthly expense payments
North Dakota Highway Patrol officers are entitled to up to $200 monthly from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This replaces meal and other expense reimbursements while traveling within North Dakota or at their home station. Lodging is excluded from this replacement. Payments follow the salary payment process, and receipts are not required.
North Dakota funds Highway Patrol operations
The law provides about $85.185 million for North Dakota Highway Patrol from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. This includes about $58.505 million from the general fund and supports 205 full-time equivalent positions. The superintendent can direct transfers of up to about $12.836 million from the State Highway Tax Distribution Fund for Patrol expenses. The budget includes $6.037 million in one-time funding: $3.705 million from the general fund and $2.332 million from other funds. This covers motor pool costs, electronic weapons, training-course resurfacing, breath-test devices, guns, federal grant authority, and a crash assistance position. These one-time amounts are excluded from the 2027–2029 base budget. The Patrol must report their use to the next legislature’s appropriations committees.
Patrol gets motor carrier permit funding
The law provides about $3.420 million from the Motor Carrier Electronic Permit Transaction Fund for permit services and related administration. The money supports nonenforcement work from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The Patrol can also carry forward unspent money from a prior $45,000 technology allocation into this period, rather than returning it.
Patrol staffing money requires budget transfers
The Patrol cannot directly spend about $2.445 million set aside for new and vacant positions. It must request transfers into its operating budget under House Bill 1015 guidelines and reporting rules. This restriction applies from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
