Bill > HB1053

This bill amends Section 24-01-01.2 of the North Dakota Century Code to modify the definition of the state highway system's maximum length. Previously, the law limited the state highway system to seven percent of the entire road mileage in the state, with considerations for functional classification. The new bill simplifies this definition by directly capping the state highway system at 7,700 miles (12,391.95 kilometers), removing the percentage-based calculation and service classification language. This change provides a clear, specific numerical limit on the total length of state highways in North Dakota, which could potentially impact road infrastructure planning and maintenance strategies. By establishing a fixed mileage cap, the bill offers a more straightforward approach to managing the state's highway system's extent.
