During the 2023 Legislative Session, TAP worked to secure a $25 million Destination Development Fund for the Tourism Division; remove uncapped tournament fishing fees; remove prohibitions on hosting national athletic events in the state based of association stances on transgender participation; and supported appropriations for several state agencies with which it works closely. It also lobbied for continued $5 million in tourism marketing funds and part of $12 million in workforce talent attraction funding through the North Dakota Department of Commerce, and supported funding for historic opera house renovations and funding for a monument to Native Americans who fought in the Battle of Whitestone Hill.
