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, a new and vacant FTE pool, and operating expenses. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and adjusts the operating expenses to $1,579,251, reflecting a decrease of $3,141. The total funding also maintains five 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.
