Senate sends $9.7 million for two BRIC replacement wastewater projects as part of larger grant bill
The Senate passed House Bill 15 77, a bill authorizing a wastewater infrastructure grant program, a Bank of North Dakota line of credit, and an appropriation. The conference committee and floor debate noted two specific projects that had previously been awarded BRIC (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) grants through FEMA but lost that funding; the state included $9,700,000 to support those shovel‑ready projects.

Senator Magram, conference committee chair, said the Senate had passed the bill unanimously earlier and that the House had requested a conference. Senator Gerhardt asked whether the break‑out of $9.7 million targeted two projects; Magram confirmed those two communities had BRIC grants and the state stepped in when federal funding was pulled so the projects could proceed.

On final passage the secretary recorded 42 ayes, 4 nays and 1 absent; the bill passed and the emergency clause carried.
