HCR 3018 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A concurrent resolution directing the Legislative Management to consider studying water and wetlands regulations and the taxation of inundated lands in the state.

HCR 3018 is a resolution directing North Dakota's Legislative Management to study water and wetlands regulations and the taxation of lands subject to flooding (inundated lands). It requires examining jurisdictional conflicts across federal, state, and local agencies, comparing other states' approaches, and inventorying relevant laws. The study must identify gaps in authority and recommend improvements for clearer, more consistent management. The findings will be reported to the next legislative assembly to inform potential future policy changes. This resolution does not change current laws but directs a review process.
