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 cannot exceed seven percent of the entire road mileage of the state, including township, county, or state roads. However, this bill removes that percentage limitation and instead establishes a fixed maximum length for the state highway system at seven thousand seven hundred miles (approximately 12,391.95 kilometers).

By eliminating the percentage cap, the bill allows for a more flexible approach to the management of the state highway system, focusing solely on the total mileage limit. This change aims to streamline the classification and maintenance of highways without being constrained by the overall road mileage percentage in the state.
