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 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 these easements, which cover over one million acres of agricultural land, impose federal regulations that restrict landowners' ability to manage their property effectively, including activities like draining ponds and planting crops.

In light of these concerns, the resolution calls for a mechanism that would enable landowners to terminate these easements by reimbursing the federal government for the original purchase price of the easement. The North Dakota Legislative Assembly expresses its intent to communicate this resolution to key federal and state officials, including the President, the Secretary of the Interior, and members of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation, as well as governors from neighboring states.
