The proposed concurrent resolution seeks to amend section 2 of article IX of the North Dakota Constitution to allow for the distribution of funds from the common schools trust fund specifically for school construction across the state. The resolution outlines a plan to allocate a total of three billion dollars over a ten-year period, with annual distributions of three hundred million dollars. This funding is intended to support the maintenance and development of common schools, ensuring that no part of the trust fund is diverted for purposes other than education.

Additionally, the amendment stipulates that biennial distributions from the perpetual trust funds will be set at ten percent of the five-year average value of trust assets, excluding lands and minerals. Starting from the 2027-28 biennium through the 2035-36 biennium, the resolution mandates an extra six hundred million dollars in biennial distributions to further support school construction initiatives. This amendment will be presented to the qualified voters of North Dakota during the general election in 2026 for approval.
