AN ACT to provide an appropriation for defraying the expenses of the department of environmental quality; and to amend and reenact section 23.1-13-16 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to inspection fees.

The provided context does not include sufficient details about SB 2024's specific provisions or mechanisms to create a substantive summary. While the bill's title mentions providing funding for the Department of Environmental Quality and amending inspection fee rules in the North Dakota Century Code, the official abstract ("Relating to inspection fees") and recent actions (e.g., Governor's signature) do not describe *what* the fee changes are, who they affect, or how they operate. Without concrete policy details in the context, a factual summary cannot be generated per your requirements.
