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 study aims to determine which type of vegetation—native or foreign—best supports the state's ecosystems.
Additionally, the resolution specifies that the study should include a comprehensive analysis of various factors, such as the costs associated with mowing, seeding, and the application of herbicides and pesticides for each type of plant. It also calls for an examination of the ecological impacts of both monoculture invasive plants and native prairie plants. The findings and any necessary legislative recommendations are to be reported to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly.
