Bill Summary

A BILL for an Act to create and enact section 24-01-12.4 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to sponsorship agreements for highway related services within highway right of way.

AI Summary

This bill creates a new section in North Dakota law that allows the state highway director to enter into sponsorship agreements with private individuals or organizations to provide services within highway rights of way. Under these agreements, sponsors who contribute services like litter control or rest area maintenance can receive recognition through an "acknowledgement sign" placed along the highway. These signs are strictly informational and designed to credit the sponsor, with specific placement restrictions: they cannot be located less than one mile apart when facing the same direction, and must comply with the standards outlined in the manual on uniform traffic control devices. The bill aims to encourage private sector involvement in highway maintenance and provide a means of publicly recognizing those contributions, potentially reducing state costs for highway upkeep while giving businesses or organizations an opportunity to demonstrate community involvement.
