Special number plates for farm and forestry vehicles and farm...
A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 39-04-10.7 and subsection 5 of section 39-04-19 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to special number plates for farm and forestry vehicles and farm and forestry vehicle registration.
This bill, HB1443, aims to update the rules for special number plates and registration for farm and forestry vehicles in North Dakota. It would change specific sections of the North Dakota Century Code, particularly around how these types of vehicles are registered and what their number plates look like.
Farmers and forestry workers who own and operate these vehicles would be directly affected by the bill. If passed, it could make the registration process more efficient or change the appearance of their vehicle plates. This could include new designs or more straightforward registration steps.
The bill was introduced on January 15, 2025, and has since been reviewed by a committee, which recommended against its passage. On February 17, 2025, it failed to pass in a second reading in the House, with 5 votes in favor and 85 against. This means the bill is currently inactive and not moving forward.
