This bill appropriates funds for the veterans' home in North Dakota for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total appropriation of $31,652,790, with $6,713,108 coming from the general fund. The bill outlines specific allocations for salaries and wages, operating expenses, and capital assets, as well as a new and vacant full-time equivalent (FTE) pool. Additionally, it allows for one-time funding for building maintenance, resident garages, and equipment, totaling $587,050. The veterans' home is restricted from spending funds from the new and vacant FTE pool but can request transfers to the salaries and wages line item.

Furthermore, the bill creates a new section in the North Dakota Century Code that permits the veterans' home to provide meals to employees during operational disruptions, either at fair value or free of charge. It also allows the director of the office of management and budget to transfer up to $600,000 from special funds for operational expenses. A legislative management study is mandated to evaluate the usage of veterans' home facilities, focusing on increasing resident census and potential uses for unoccupied space. The bill is declared an emergency measure, particularly concerning the funding for resident garages and storage units.
