Bill Summary · HB 1106

Summary — HB 1106 (Nonfixed‑Route Transit Grants)

Note: “HB 1106” is a bill number used in multiple states for unrelated measures. This summary covers the version titled “An Act to provide an appropriation to the department of transportation for nonfixed route transit program grants” (North Dakota, House Bill No. 1106).

Purpose and intent

Provide earmarked state funding to support nonfixed‑route public transportation services (commonly demand‑response, paratransit, and other on‑demand transit providers) by appropriating money to the state Department of Transportation (DOT) to distribute as grants.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: $2,000,000 is appropriated from the general fund to the Department of Transportation.
  • Purpose of funds: Grants to nonfixed‑route public transportation providers.
  • Authorization period: Funds are available for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027.
  • Administrative implementation: DOT is to administer the grant program (selection and disbursement details expected to follow DOT procedures or rulemaking/notice).

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiaries: Nonfixed‑route public transportation providers (e.g., regional or local demand‑response providers, paratransit operators, nonprofit and public transit agencies that provide nonfixed‑route services).
  • State agencies: Department of Transportation (grant administration and oversight).
  • Local governments and transit systems: Potential applicants/recipients; communities served by nonfixed‑route transit may see service support or expansion.

Fiscal impact

  • One‑time/general fund cost: $2,000,000 drawn from the state general fund for the 2025–2027 biennium.
  • Downstream impacts depend on how DOT awards grants (match requirements, recurring funding needs, or program continuity).

Procedural / timeline

  • Sponsors: Introduced by Representatives Monson, Jonas, Martinson, Meier, Schauer and Senators Mathern, Roers, Sorvaag (per accompanying document).
  • Effective period for appropriation: July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027 (biennium specified in the text).
  • Reported as enacted in the provided documents (enrollment/approval language appears in the bill record); administrative implementation will follow DOT grant processes.

Notes and context

  • The provision is narrowly focused on one-time appropriation for grants rather than creating new regulatory authority or ongoing program entitlements.
  • Local transit providers should monitor DOT communications for application processes, eligibility criteria, award timelines, and any matching or reporting requirements associated with the grants.
  • If you want, I can draft a short checklist for potential applicants (eligibility, typical grant application documents, likely reporting requirements).
