The resolution calls on the United States Congress to transfer the management of all national grassland properties in North Dakota from the United States Forest Service to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). It highlights that North Dakota contains over 1 million acres of national grasslands currently administered by the Forest Service, which is responsible for sustainable management and conservation of natural resources. The resolution references the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, which aimed to control soil erosion and preserve natural resources, and argues that the NRCS's mission aligns more closely with these goals.

The North Dakota Legislative Assembly believes that the NRCS is better suited to manage the national grasslands in the state, as it focuses on sustaining productive agricultural lands and improving environmental quality. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to key federal officials, including the President and members of the North Dakota Congressional Delegation, to advocate for this management transfer.
