N.D.C.C. § 57-62-06 — Legislative intent and guidelines on impact grants

The legislative assembly intends that the moneys appropriated to, and distributed by, the
energy infrastructure and impact office for grants are to be used by grantees to meet initial
impacts affecting basic governmental services, and directly necessitated by coal development
and oil and gas development impact. As used in this section, "basic governmental services" do
not include activities relating to marriage or guidance counseling, services or programs to
alleviate other sociological impacts, or services or facilities to meet secondary impacts. All grant
applications and presentations to the energy infrastructure and impact office must be made by
an appointed or elected government official.
