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.

Under the new provisions, the state highway system is capped at seven thousand seven hundred miles (approximately 12,391.95 kilometers) in length, eliminating the previous requirement related to the percentage of total road mileage. This change aims to provide a clear and definitive limit on the highway system's length without reference to the overall road mileage in the state.
