Text

Before leasing any land or interest therein or any mineral rights reserved therein, the state
of North Dakota or any of its departments or agencies shall first give notice in accordance with
the rules of the board of university and school lands. The leasing must be held at the time and
place specified in the notice, and the notice must contain the information required by the rules of
the board of university and school lands and such other information as may be deemed by the
state or department or agency thereof to be applicable. Should publication of any notice of the
leasing of mineral rights be inadvertently omitted by any newspaper or should the notice contain
typographical errors, the state or department or agency may, in its discretion, proceed with the
scheduled leasing if it appears that the omission or error is not prejudicial to the state's interest.
