Bill > HB1118

This bill amends North Dakota's vehicle registration laws to provide clearer guidelines for temporary registration permits and adjust related penalties. Specifically, the bill allows motor vehicle operators to use temporary registration permits, which must be displayed on the rear window, rearmost driver's side window, or in the location of the rear license plate, and must remain clearly visible and unobstructed. The bill changes the penalty for altering or forging registration documents from a class C felony to a class A misdemeanor, and updates various sections of the North Dakota Century Code to include references to temporary registration permits. The changes aim to provide more flexibility for vehicle owners during registration transitions and clarify the rules around displaying temporary registration documents. The bill extends the period for operating a transferred vehicle without a new registration from thirty to seventy-five days and removes some previous restrictions on how temporary registration certificates could be obtained, making the process potentially more convenient for vehicle owners.
