The North Dakota House of Representatives adopted the conference committee report on engrossed Senate Bill 2018 and subsequently passed the bill on final consideration by a recorded vote of 66 yea, 22 nay.

Senate Bill 2018, described on the floor, is an omnibus commerce measure providing appropriations to the Department of Commerce and several related entities and programs; the engrossed bill also creates a new statutory section (chapter 50-54-60) for Department of Commerce grant reporting requirements and amends multiple sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to the North Dakota Development Fund, workforce development duties, and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) programs.

On the floor Representative Navy (as recorded in the transcript) summarized the conference committee changes, noting reductions and adjustments across multiple line items compared with earlier House or Senate proposals. Items listed in the floor summary include zeroing the "Find the Good Life" line; reducing tourism development grants from 20 to 15; adjusting a test-site line to 0 and allocating 1,000,000 to a different test-site item; setting the Beyond Visual Line of Sight program from 20 to 15; cutting the drone replacement program from 16 to 9; reducing Grand Sky funding from 5 to 2.5 and Grand Farm from 10 to 7.5; adding 175,000 for a community hall in Driscoll; halving a technical skills training grant from 2,000,000 to 1,000,000; and reducing a proposed development fund appropriation from 30,000,000 to 25,000,000 with 10 of that 25 dedicated to the non-primary sector. Representative Navy also said the TR library issue would be deferred for further review next session. The conference committee summary referenced contingency triggers for science center funding tied to SIF balances and noted a sanitation and restoration project at the State Fair included in section 7.

Representative Koppelman asked a question about language regarding opening development fund grants to one-to-one matches; the transcript records that the grama language (matching language) was removed during conference committee consideration. After floor procedures the clerk recorded final passage of Senate Bill 2018, 66 yea, 22 nay.

The transcript provides a floor-level summary of line-item adjustments and statutory sections affected but does not include complete bill text, full dollar-amount contexts for every line item (units and whether figures represent thousands, millions or other units are not always specified in the spoken summary), nor implementation schedules. The bill passed the House on final consideration and will proceed through the remaining legislative steps.
