MINOR
This bill updates how dissolved cities in North Dakota are handled, clarifying which local government (county or township) manages streets and property after a city dissolves. It adds new sections to state law and amends existing dissolution procedures to ensure property and funds are properly managed by the county or township depending on the city's location.
Scope change
The bill expands applicability by adding specific provisions for both unorganized and organized townships regarding street maintenance in dissolved cities, whereas previously the process was less clearly defined for different township types.
ELIGIBILITY
Added new sections to chapters 11-10 and 58-03 of the North Dakota Century Code to clarify when counties and townships may maintain or vacate streets in dissolved cities based on whether the city is in an unorganized or organized township.
REQUIREMENT
Amended section 40-53.1-07 to specify that counties must employ a qualified person to manage dissolved city property, requiring a bond and monthly financial reporting to the county treasurer.
TECHNICAL
Added certification language and vote records from the Senate and House, along with governor approval and filing sections, which are standard enrollment procedures.
