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 (USFWS). It highlights the constitutional rights of individuals to acquire and protect property, as well as the state's legal stance against perpetual easements, which are seen as burdensome to landowners. The resolution points out that the USFWS currently holds numerous perpetual easements on agricultural land, imposing federal regulations that restrict landowners' rights to manage their property, including activities like draining ponds and planting crops.

The North Dakota Legislative Assembly calls for a solution that would enable landowners to terminate these easements by reimbursing the USFWS for the original purchase price of the easement. The resolution emphasizes the need for Congress to take action to protect the property rights of North Dakota residents and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal and state officials to garner support for this legislative change.
