INTRODUCED Enrollment · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill progressed from its introduction stage to full enrollment, meaning it has passed both legislative chambers and is awaiting the Governor's signature. The substantive content of the bill remains unchanged - it appropriates $500,000 from the Strategic Investment and Improvements Fund to the Insurance Commissioner for a one-time grant to the North Dakota Firefighter's Association to help fund a new building, with funds available through June 30, 2027. The changes are primarily formatting and procedural, reflecting the bill's journey through the legislative process.
TECHNICAL

Added formal enrollment language certifying that two-thirds of Senate and House members voted in favor of the bill, along with vote counts and signatures from legislative officers.

Removed original introduction text and page numbering that was used during the bill's initial filing but is no longer needed after passage.

Reformatted the bill header to include the full legislative session date (January 7, 2025) and added sponsor names in a standardized format.
