This bill introduces new provisions regarding the maintenance and vacating of streets and alleys in dissolved cities within North Dakota. It establishes that if a dissolved city is located in an unorganized township, the county has the authority to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. Conversely, if the dissolved city is situated in an organized township, that township may also choose to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. These provisions are outlined in new sections added to chapters 11-10 and 58-03 of the North Dakota Century Code.

Additionally, the bill amends section 40-53.1-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, clarifying that upon the dissolution of a city, the board of county commissioners will take control of the city's property, except for streets and alleys if an organized township opts to maintain or vacate them. This amendment ensures that the management and disposition of property in a dissolved city are clearly defined while allowing for local governance over streets and alleys.
