Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 2302 includes additional language to clarify the powers of the North Dakota Board of University and School Lands concerning public lands and permanent funds. Specifically, it reaffirms the board's control over various types of lands, including those that come to the state through escheat and donations for the support of schools and institutions. This amendment is significant because it ensures that the board has clear authority to manage these resources effectively, which is essential for funding education and other public services.
