This bill amends section 54-40.5-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the revocation of a transfer of township zoning authority. The new provisions allow for an agreement to be amended or terminated by mutual consent or by individual parties after providing written notice. Additionally, if a political subdivision is dissolved, the agreement can be terminated by the governing body upon its reincorporation or through a petition from the majority of electors in the previous jurisdiction.

The bill specifically outlines the process for a township that has unilaterally transferred its zoning authority to reacquire that authority. It requires the township's board of supervisors to pass a resolution supporting the return to township zoning, hold an election where a majority of qualified electors must vote in favor, adopt a comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance, and appoint a zoning administrator. If these conditions are met, the county is mandated to accept the township's reacquisition of zoning authority.
