N.D. Cent. Code § 54-01.1-01: Declaration of policy

The purpose of this chapter is to establish a uniform policy for the fair and equitable treatment of persons displaced as a direct result of programs or projects undertaken by a state agency so that displaced persons will not suffer disproportionate injuries as a result of programs and projects designed for the benefit of the public as a whole and to minimize the hardship of displacement by the acquisition of real property by state and local land acquisition programs, by federally assisted building code enforcement programs, or by a program of voluntary rehabilitation of buildings or other improvements conducted pursuant to governmental supervision. The policy must be uniform as to:

1.Relocation payment;

2.Advisory assistance;

3.Assurance of availability of standard housing; and

4.State reimbursement for local relocation payments under state-assisted and local programs.
