Budget & Taxes

HB 1264 appropriates $75,000 from the general fund to the North Dakota State Historical Society for a one-time bridge construction project at Whitestone Hill State Historic Site. The funding is allocated for the 2025-2027 biennium and is specifically designated for infrastructure improvements at the site. This procedural bill directly affects the State Historical Society and the Whitestone Hill site by providing dedicated capital for physical enhancements.

HCR 3002 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow North Dakota to authorize and regulate sports betting within the state. If approved by voters, it would amend the state constitution to permit the legislature to license and regulate sports betting on professional and college sports. All tax revenue generated from sports betting would be required to fund K-12 public schools. This change would directly affect all North Dakotans by altering the state's legal framework for gambling and directing new revenue toward public education.
