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 must notify the department when state property or structures are constructed within a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Additionally, the bill removes the phrase "thereon shall" and replaces it with "are," streamlining the language regarding the applicability of the law to state property. It also modifies the phrasing around the notification process, ensuring that the responsibility to inform the department about construction in flood hazard areas is clearly assigned to the relevant state agency or entity. Overall, the bill aims to enhance compliance with floodplain regulations and improve communication regarding state property in flood-prone areas.
