This bill appropriates funds for the Information Technology Department of North Dakota for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The total appropriation amounts to $281,064,809, which includes specific allocations for salaries, operating expenses, capital assets, and various technology initiatives such as the statewide longitudinal data system and the K-12 wide area network. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for the statewide interoperable radio network with an appropriation of $18,449,852, and it also specifies that $239,646,504 of the total funds will come from other sources, leaving a general fund allocation of $41,418,305.
