The resolution calls on the United States Congress to transfer the management of 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, which were established under the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act to address various environmental concerns, including soil erosion and resource conservation. The resolution argues that the NRCS's mission aligns more closely with the original intent of the Act, as it focuses on sustaining agricultural lands and improving environmental quality.

The North Dakota Legislative Assembly expresses its support for this transfer, believing that the NRCS would be better suited to manage the national grasslands in a way that promotes conservation and stewardship of natural resources. The resolution concludes by instructing the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to key federal officials, including the President, the Secretary of the Interior, and members of North Dakota's Congressional Delegation.
