MODERATE
This bill updates the North Dakota Century Code to clarify how state funds are distributed to non-oil-producing counties for township road maintenance. The changes standardize the language for distributing up to $16.1 million (or 13% of the fund balance) to organized and unorganized townships based on road mileage, ensuring consistent allocation across the state.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on non-oil-producing counties and their townships, with no expansion or reduction in applicability.
FISCAL

Clarified the distribution formula for township road funds, specifying that allocations must be proportional to township road miles relative to the total miles across all non-oil-producing counties.

REQUIREMENT

Added explicit requirement that township road mileage certifications must come from section 54-27-19.1 to ensure accurate fund distribution.

ELIGIBILITY

Reinforced that townships maintaining no township roads are ineligible for funding allocations under this section.

TECHNICAL

Changed the document format from 'FIRST ENGROSSED' to 'Enrollment' status, reflecting the bill's progression through the legislative process and final approval by the Governor.
