N.D. Cent. Code § 6-09.18-06: Use of loan funds

Loan recipients shall use legacy investment technology loan funds to enhance capacity and, to the extent possible, leverage state, federal, and private sources of funding. An entity receiving a loan under this chapter may not use the funds for capital or building investments or for research or other activities not identified in this chapter. The funds may not be used for academic or instructive programming, workforce training, administrative costs, or to supplant funding for regular operations of institutions of higher education. Unless otherwise approved by the committee, loan recipients may use funding only to conduct applied research, experimentation, or operational testing within the state. If an entity awarded a loan no longer conducts its activities in the state, the interest rate of the loan shall default to the rate of a standard Bank of North Dakota loan.
