A BILL for an Act to provide an appropriation to the state historical society for the North Dakota military museum project; to amend and reenact section 55-01-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to jurisdiction of the heritage center; to authorize a line of credit; to provide for a report; and to provide an effective date.

North Dakota SB 2407 authorizes the state historical society to borrow up to $35 million from the Bank of North Dakota to fund a new military museum project, with repayment required by June 2029 using specific donation funds or a future legislative appropriation. The bill assigns final decision-making authority for the project to the capital grounds planning commission and requires the historical society to submit quarterly progress reports on construction status and finances. Additionally, it amends state code to give the historical society jurisdiction over the North Dakota heritage center building, including responsibility for museum content in collaboration with the adjutant general, while allowing alcohol service at private invited events.
