ND HB1229

Creates a North Dakota elementary student entrepreneurship program under state board authority to provide grants supporting entrepreneurship education integrated with classroom curriculum and standards.

Changes grant administration from "through local" to being "awarded to school districts" and requires matching funds of up to 50 percent of curriculum and activity costs.

Allows the state board to forward a school district's grant directly to a service-providing entity at the district's request.

Passed House by vote of 85-0 (9 absent) and Senate by vote of 46-0 (1 absent) during the 2013 legislative session.
