The bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 39-04 of the North Dakota Century Code to establish "blackout number plates" for motor vehicles. Under this new provision, the director is authorized to issue these plates upon payment of all standard registration fees, along with an additional fee of twenty-five dollars per registration period. The blackout number plates will feature a solid black background with white numbers and letters, and they will be available only to owners of passenger motor vehicles, trucks with a registered gross weight not exceeding twenty thousand pounds, or motorcycles.

This legislation aims to provide a distinctive option for vehicle registration while ensuring that the design adheres to specific aesthetic guidelines. The introduction of blackout number plates is intended to enhance the variety of available license plate options for North Dakota residents.
