This bill appropriates funds for the implementation of the Red River mediation agreement, which is aimed at addressing natural resource management issues in the region. Specifically, it allocates a total of $700,000, with $350,000 designated for fiscal year 2026 and another $350,000 for fiscal year 2027.

The funds will be provided to the commissioner of natural resources to support grants that cover up to 50 percent of the costs associated with implementing the agreement. This financial support is intended to facilitate collaborative efforts in managing the natural resources along the Red River, promoting sustainable practices and conflict resolution among stakeholders.
