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).

Key changes include the deletion of the phrase "thereon shall" and the addition of new language that emphasizes the responsibility of state agencies to inform the department about construction in flood hazard areas. This amendment aims to enhance compliance with floodplain regulations and improve communication regarding state property in vulnerable locations.
