This bill appropriates funds for the office of the adjutant general for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with a total of $345,058,698 allocated across various programs, including the National Guard and the Department of Emergency Services. Key insertions include a new "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" for both the National Guard and the Department of Emergency Services, which outlines specific funding for salaries, operating expenses, capital assets, and disaster costs. Notably, the bill also includes one-time funding for various projects, such as the Camp Grafton regional training institute and disaster response equipment, totaling $96,160,426.
Additionally, the bill establishes exemptions for certain appropriations, allowing unexpended funds from previous years to be carried over into the new biennium. It emphasizes the legislative intent for the expansion of Camp Grafton without the use of eminent domain and declares an emergency for specific appropriations related to critical infrastructure and disaster relief. The adjutant general is also granted the authority to accept gifts and donations for the construction of a North Dakota military museum, further supporting the state's military initiatives.
