This bill proposes an appropriation of $500,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund to the parks and recreation department for a ski resort infrastructure grant. The funds are designated for building and infrastructure repairs at a ski resort in North Dakota, addressing damage caused by snow and rain, deferred maintenance, and necessary equipment purchases. The bill stipulates that the parks and recreation department can only utilize these funds if the ski resort secures matching funds from nonstate sources on a dollar-for-dollar basis. This funding is classified as a one-time allocation for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.

Additionally, the bill includes a declaration of emergency, indicating the urgency of the funding and the need for immediate action to support the ski resort infrastructure.
