Bill > HB1392

This bill modifies North Dakota's motor vehicle number plate regulations by introducing a new option for vehicle owners to have only one number plate instead of the traditional two. Specifically, the bill allows vehicle owners to request a single number plate by paying an additional fee of $125. The bill updates sections 39-04-08 and 39-04-11 of the North Dakota Century Code to reflect these changes, detailing how and where the single number plate should be displayed on different types of vehicles, such as motorcycles, trailers, and apportioned vehicles. The bill also establishes a penalty of $200 for violations related to number plate display requirements. Under the new provisions, vehicles with a single number plate must display it on the rear of the vehicle, and the plate must be mounted at least 12 inches above the ground, clearly visible, and free of obstruction like mud, ice, or snow. The change provides vehicle owners with more flexibility in number plate configuration while maintaining visibility and identification standards.
