The bill proposes an appropriation for the commissioner of university and school lands to cover expenses for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total special funds appropriation of $11,191,405, which consists of salaries and wages, operating expenses, and contingencies. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and allocates $100,000 for contingencies. Additionally, it establishes a new and vacant FTE pool, allowing the commissioner to request fund transfers to salaries and wages but prohibits spending from this pool directly.

Furthermore, the bill mandates distributions from permanent funds to various state institutions, totaling $617,283,338. This includes significant allocations to common schools, North Dakota State University, and the University of North Dakota, among others. The bill specifies the amounts designated for each institution, ensuring that funds are managed in accordance with Article IX of the North Dakota Constitution. The inclusion of Minot State University in the distribution list is a new insertion, reflecting the ongoing support for educational institutions in the state.
