SB 2009: AN ACT to provide an appropriation for defraying the expenses of the state fair association; to repeal section 4.1-45-22.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to state fair facility operations and maintenance costs; and to declare an emergency.

SB 2009 provides state funding to cover the operating expenses of the North Dakota State Fair Association. It removes an existing law (section 4.1-45-22.1 of the North Dakota Century Code) that previously governed how the state fair's facility maintenance and operations costs were paid. The bill replaces this with a direct appropriation, meaning the state will now directly fund these costs through a new budget allocation. The bill also declares an emergency, requiring immediate implementation to prevent operational disruptions to the state fair.
