This bill appropriates funds to the North Dakota State Historical Society for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with a total budget of $123,396,907. The funding includes base level enhancements for salaries, operating expenses, capital assets, and grants, as well as specific allocations for projects such as the military gallery expansion and America's 250th celebration. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for a Bank of North Dakota line of credit, allowing the historical society to borrow up to $20 million for the military gallery expansion project, with the stipulation that a deficiency appropriation will be requested to repay the loan.

Additionally, the bill outlines one-time funding items that are not included in the base budget for the 2027-29 biennium, totaling approximately $96.9 million. This includes funding for temporary staff, repatriation compliance costs, and various historical preservation projects. The bill also exempts a previously appropriated amount of $3,550,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund from certain legislative restrictions, ensuring that these funds are available for critical repairs and exhibit improvements during the specified biennium.
