This bill appropriates funds for the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. It includes a total appropriation of $126,103,048, which encompasses salaries, operating expenses, and significant grants totaling $120,875,000. Notably, the bill introduces a new line item for "Base Level Enhancements Appropriation" and specifies that $90,000,000 will be allocated for generational airport projects, with specific amounts designated for projects in Fargo, Grand Forks, and Dickinson. Additionally, it allows for the continuation of unspent funds into the following biennium for both airport grants and generational projects.

The bill also includes provisions for the management of new and vacant full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, stating that funds in this category cannot be spent without a transfer request to the Office of Management and Budget. Furthermore, it exempts certain appropriations from existing funding regulations, ensuring that unspent federal and special funds for specific projects, such as the International Peace Garden airport rehabilitation, can be carried over and utilized in the designated biennium. The legislative intent is clear in that state funds should not replace federal grant funds for these airport projects.
