The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to conduct a study on the costs and effects of planting sterile monoculture invasive plants compared to native prairie plants within the state. It acknowledges the diversity of grasses and plants in North Dakota, highlighting the presence of both native and non-native species. The goal is to determine which type of vegetation—native or foreign—best supports the state's ecosystems.

The study will encompass a comprehensive analysis that includes the costs associated with mowing, seeding, and the application of herbicides and pesticides for both types of plants. Additionally, it will evaluate the ecological impacts of monoculture invasive plants versus native prairie plants. The findings and any necessary legislative recommendations resulting from this study are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
