The resolution calls on Congress to establish federal protections for the wild horse herd at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, emphasizing the historical significance of these horses, which were present during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency. The resolution highlights the cultural importance of the wild horse herd to North Dakota and its contribution to tourism and the state's economy. Concerns regarding the management and long-term health of the herd have prompted this legislative action.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be sent to various federal and state officials, including the Secretary of the Interior and members of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation, to advocate for the proposed protections.
