What changed in the latest version
74 added · 48 removedPlain-language change summary
The amended version of SB 116 maintains the core purpose of funding the construction of an indoor athletics facility at Dakota State University but clarifies the financial terms and allows for adjustments in construction costs. The bill now explicitly states that cost adjustments will reflect inflation and any additional regulatory requirements but removes the specific cap on adjustments, previously set at 125% of the estimated project cost. This change is significant as it gives more flexibility to the Board of Regents in managing the budget, potentially allowing the project to stay more aligned with current economic conditions.
