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 allows for the transfer of funds from the state highway tax distribution fund and the motor carrier electronic permit transaction fund to support the highway patrol's expenses. It also establishes a monthly payment of up to $200 for patrol officers to cover meal and travel expenses without requiring receipts. Lastly, it exempts a previously appropriated sum of $45,000 for technology enhancements from unexpended appropriations, allowing those funds to carry over into the next biennium.
