This bill appropriates funds for the North Dakota Highway Patrol for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It allocates a total of $85,184,630, which includes $68,085,546 in base funding and $17,099,084 in enhancements. The bill introduces a new line item for a "New and vacant FTE pool" with an appropriation of $2,445,122, and specifies that the highway patrol may not spend these funds directly but can request transfers to the main highway patrol line item. Additionally, the bill outlines one-time funding items totaling $6,037,000 for various operational needs, including motor pool costs and equipment replacements.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a monthly payment of up to $200 for each highway patrol officer for meals and other travel-related expenses, which will be paid similarly to their salaries without requiring receipts. It also includes provisions for the transfer of funds from the state highway tax distribution fund and the motor carrier electronic permit fund to support the highway patrol's expenses. Lastly, it exempts $45,000 appropriated for technology enhancements from being subject to unexpended appropriation provisions, allowing those funds to carry over into the next biennium.
