This bill appropriates funds for the veterans' home in North Dakota for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, totaling $31,652,790, which includes base level enhancements and one-time funding for various expenses. The funding covers salaries, operating expenses, and capital assets, with a general fund allocation of $6,713,108. Additionally, the bill establishes a new section in the North Dakota Century Code that allows the veterans' home to provide meals to employees during operational disruptions, either at fair value or free of charge, as required by their job assignments.

Furthermore, the bill permits the transfer of up to $600,000 from special funds for line item adjustments between salaries and operating expenses, and mandates a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to evaluate the usage of veterans' home facilities. This study will explore potential organizational changes to increase resident census, the use of unoccupied space, and compliance with federal requirements. The bill also declares certain provisions as emergency measures, ensuring timely implementation.
