The proposed bill aims to create a new section in chapter 39-04 of the North Dakota Century Code regarding the issuance of blackout number plates for motor vehicles. Under this new provision, the director will issue these plates upon payment of all required registration fees, an initial fee of fifteen dollars, and a reduced additional fee of ten dollars per registration period, down from the previous twenty-five dollars. The blackout number plates will feature a solid black background with white numbers and letters.

Additionally, the bill specifies that blackout number plates can only be issued to owners of passenger motor vehicles, trucks with a registered gross weight not exceeding twenty thousand pounds, or motorcycles. This legislation seeks to provide a distinctive option for vehicle registration while establishing clear guidelines for eligibility and fees associated with the blackout number plates.
