This bill amends section 24-01-01.2 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the length of the state highway system. The current law stipulates that the state highway system may not exceed seven percent of the entire road mileage of the state, including township, county, or state roads. However, the bill removes this percentage limitation and instead establishes a fixed maximum length for the state highway system, which is set at seven thousand seven hundred miles (approximately 12,391.95 kilometers).

By eliminating the percentage cap, the bill allows for a more straightforward determination of the highway system's length, focusing solely on the fixed mileage limit. This change aims to provide clarity and potentially facilitate future planning and development of the state highway infrastructure without the constraints of a percentage-based system.
