ND SB2260

Adds two new coordinate systems to North Dakota law: the North Dakota statewide coordinate system of 2022 (covering the entire state in one zone) and the North Dakota low-distortion coordinate system of 2022 (dividing the state into 16 regional zones)

Establishes 16 low-distortion projection zones named after cities/regions: Beulah, Bismarck, Bottineau, Bowman, Cannon Ball, Carrington, Devils Lake, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Linton, Minot, New Town, Oakes, and Williston

Updates technical standards to use the North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022 and changes the conversion standard from "United States survey foot" to "international foot" (one foot equals 0.3048 meter)

Requires land boundary coordinates recorded in public records to be connected to the national spatial reference system rather than the previous "triangulation or traverse station" standard

Passed unanimously in both chambers (Senate 46-0, House 92-0)
