MODERATE
This bill was transitioned from its initial Senate version to its enrolled, final form ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive content of the appropriations remains identical, funding the North Dakota Racing Commission with $521,818 from the general fund for the 2025-2027 biennium, including one-time funding for a copier and internships.
TECHNICAL
The bill header was updated from 'FIRST ENGROSSED SENATE BILL' to 'SENATE BILL NO. 2023 (Appropriations Committee)' to reflect its final enrolled status.
Enrollment signatures were added, certifying the bill originated in the Senate and including the final vote counts from both the Senate and House.
Governor signature lines were added at the end of the document to formally approve the bill into law.
The original bill text was removed and replaced with the enrolled version, which includes the same funding amounts but with updated formatting and official certification language.
