AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 9 of section 39-06.1-06 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a violation of a construction zone speed limit; and to provide a penalty.
This bill, SB2183, aims to update the laws regarding violations of speed limits in construction zones in North Dakota. Specifically, it seeks to amend and re-enact the relevant section of the North Dakota Century Code. The bill also introduces a penalty for those who break these speed limits in construction zones. If passed, drivers found speeding in these areas could face fines or other penalties, which are intended to encourage safer driving in areas where workers are present.
This bill would affect all drivers in North Dakota who encounter construction zones. By enforcing stricter penalties for speeding in these zones, the bill hopes to improve safety for both drivers and construction workers. The financial penalties could also serve as a deterrent for reckless driving in these vulnerable areas.
The bill was introduced on January 13, 2025, and has since moved through several stages of the legislative process. It was passed by the Senate on March 26, 2025, and by the House on March 20, 2025. It was then signed by the Speaker and President before being sent to the Governor. On April 2, 2025, the Governor signed the bill, and it was filed with the Secretary of State on April 3, 2025.
