The North Dakota House of Representatives adopted the conference committee report for Senate Bill 2009 and then passed the bill on final consideration, approving appropriations to support the state fair association and related operations.

Representative Nate (conference committee presenter) reported two principal changes from the Senate: an adjusted campground/restroom line item that the committee agreed to fund at $7,750,000 with a 2:1 match provision, and a reduced amount for safety and security infrastructure set at $800,000 after negotiations with the Senate.

The engrossed bill was described on the floor as an act to provide appropriations for the State Fair Association, to repeal a section of the North Dakota Century Code relating to State Fair operations and maintenance costs, and to declare an emergency. Representative Navy asked members for a green vote on final consideration.

After recorded voting, the floor clerk announced the final tally of 76 yeas and 14 nays and declared Senate Bill 2009 passed.
