More detail
North Dakota’s Legislative Management must consider conducting the study. The study covers water and wetlands rules, taxes on flooded land, wetland boundaries, and other states’ laws. It also examines government roles in environmental protection and public health. The resolution requires consideration of a study but does not require a study to take place. Any study must examine overlapping government authority and recommend improvements.

Legislative Management must report the study’s findings, recommendations, and any needed legislation to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
