The bill amends section 61-16.2-12 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to state property constructed in floodplains. It clarifies that all state property and structures are subject to the provisions of this chapter and any relevant ordinances, including those related to the national flood insurance program. The language has been updated to specify that the appropriate state agency or entity with an interest in state property must notify the department when such property or structures are constructed within a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Additionally, the bill removes certain phrases from the existing law, such as "thereon shall" and "pursuant," streamlining the language for clarity. The overall intent of the bill is to ensure that state property adheres to floodplain regulations and that relevant authorities are informed of constructions in designated flood hazard areas.
