This bill appropriates funds for the office of administrative hearings for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total special funds appropriation of $3,155,750, which encompasses salaries and wages, operating expenses, and a new and vacant full-time equivalent (FTE) pool. Notably, the bill introduces a Base Level Enhancements Appropriation for salaries and wages, increasing the total to $1,559,929, and adjusts operating expenses to 1,579,251. The office is authorized to maintain 5.00 full-time equivalent positions. Additionally, the bill allows the office of administrative hearings to borrow up to $150,000 from the Bank of North Dakota through a line of credit to address cash flow needs during the specified biennium. The interest rate on this line of credit is capped at the prevailing rate for North Dakota governmental entities, and the office is required to repay the borrowed amount using available funds from the administrative hearings fund. The bill emphasizes the limitation on spending from the new and vacant FTE pool, permitting transfers only to the salaries and wages line item upon request to the office of management and budget.
