Bill > HB1155

This bill amends North Dakota law to expand equipment exemptions for certain motor vehicles, specifically street rods, collectors, and special interest vehicles. The bill modifies existing regulations to clarify that these types of vehicles are exempt from certain equipment requirements related to bumpers, tires, and fenders, provided they have all equipment that was originally required when the vehicle was first manufactured. The definition of a street rod, collector, or special interest vehicle is updated to include vehicles that are at least forty years old, which can have modernized modifications to their body, chassis, engine, brakes, power train, steering, and suspension systems. These vehicles can retain their original body configuration or be designed to resemble historical vehicles, and can include improvements through original equipment modifications or parts from other vehicles. The bill allows the state director to adopt rules to implement these provisions, effectively providing more flexibility for owners of vintage and modified vehicles while ensuring they maintain basic safety standards established at their time of original manufacture.
