The bill amends subsection 2 of section 4.1-01-27 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on the agriculture infrastructure grant program. It specifies that the agriculture commissioner, in consultation with the director of the department of transportation, will award grants to counties, townships, or cities with a population of one thousand five hundred residents or less. These grants are intended for road and bridge improvements that support value-added agriculture businesses.

Additionally, the bill outlines that grant funding can be utilized for corridor improvements on city, county, and township roadways, as well as for enhancements to roads or bridges that provide access to value-added agriculture businesses. The language also removes the term "political subdivisions" to clarify the eligible entities for grant awards.
