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 $350,000 from the general fund for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the commissioner of natural resources.

The funds are designated for grants that will cover up to 50 percent of the costs associated with implementing the mediation agreement, thereby supporting collaborative efforts to resolve disputes and manage resources effectively in the Red River area.
