This bill amends subsection 1 of section 15.1-12-05 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the process of notifying property owners about petitions for the annexation of property to a school district. The amendment specifies that upon receiving such a petition, the county superintendent is required to schedule and give notice of a public hearing regarding the annexation.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new requirement for the county superintendent to provide notice by certified mail to each owner of real property affected by the annexation petition. This change aims to ensure that property owners are adequately informed about the annexation process and can participate in the public hearing.
