The bill proposes a one-time appropriation of $1,500,000 from the strategic investment and improvements fund to the agriculture commissioner for the establishment of a county fair resiliency grant program. This funding is intended to support county agriculture fair associations in planning, designing, and constructing infrastructure projects, with the program set to run until June 30, 2027. Under the program, no single county agriculture fair association can receive more than $100,000 in grant funding. Additionally, the agriculture commissioner is tasked with creating guidelines for the distribution of these grants, which will require recipients to provide matching funds from nonstate sources at a rate of one dollar for every two dollars received in grant funding.

The bill also includes a declaration of emergency, indicating the urgency of the funding and the need for immediate implementation. This measure aims to enhance the resilience and sustainability of county fairs, which are vital to local communities and agricultural promotion in North Dakota.
