Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 2260 clarifies the definitions and designations of North Dakota's coordinate systems, specifically listing the various systems established and recognized since 1989. It includes the addition of the North Dakota statewide coordinate system and the low-distortion coordinate system, both from 2022. This is important because it ensures that current geographic data and mapping resources are accurately defined and accessible, which can benefit land use planning, emergency services, and navigation within the state.
