Summary

House Bill 1525 proposes an appropriation of $425,000 to both the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University. The funding is designated for maintaining equipment and facilities that house scientific instruments over the biennium from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.

Some legislators may raise concerns regarding the allocation of state funds, emphasizing the need for equitable distribution of resources among all state educational institutions.
