The proposed bill provides an appropriation for the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission to cover expenses for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total appropriation of $156,103,048, which consists of various funding sources, including general funds, special funds, and federal funds. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and significantly increases the grants allocation to $150,875,000, while also establishing a new and vacant FTE pool of $20,495. The bill also specifies that $20,000,000 from the airport infrastructure fund will be used for airport grants, with an exemption from certain spending limitations, allowing unspent funds to carry over into the next biennium.

Additionally, the bill outlines limitations on the new and vacant FTE pool, stating that funds cannot be spent without a transfer request to the Office of Management and Budget. It also includes an exemption for $3,750,000 appropriated for the International Peace Garden airport rehabilitation project, allowing any unexpended funds to be available for use during the specified biennium. The bill removes previous sections related to generational airport projects and their associated funding, streamlining the focus on current appropriations and exemptions.
