The resolution urges Congress to pass legislation that would allow landowners in North Dakota to terminate perpetual easements held by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. It emphasizes the state's commitment to property rights, as outlined in the North Dakota Constitution and Century Code, which reflects a general aversion to perpetual easements. The resolution highlights the significant number of these easements owned by the federal agency, which cover over one million acres, often impacting agricultural land and imposing restrictive federal regulations that hinder landowners' ability to manage their property effectively.

The resolution calls for landowners to have the option to terminate these easements by reimbursing the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for the original purchase price of the easement. It concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to key federal and state officials, including the President, the Secretary of the Interior, and members of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation, to advocate for this legislative change.
