A concurrent resolution directing the Legislative Management to consider studying the costs and effects of planting and tending to sterile monoculture invasive plants and native plants within the state.
SCR 4029 is a procedural resolution directing North Dakota's Legislative Management to study the costs and environmental impacts of using non-native invasive plants versus native prairie plants. It requires a comparison of maintenance costs (like mowing, seeding, and pesticide use) and ecosystem effects between these plant types across state lands. The resolution does not change policy but mandates a report with findings and potential legislative recommendations for the 2025 session. This is a study request, not a law, and it failed to pass in the 2025 legislative session.
