The bill amends section 39-04-10 of the North Dakota Century Code to provide specific provisions for the issuance of special license plates for amateur radio station licenseholders. It allows owners of motor vehicles, who possess a valid amateur radio station license from the Federal Communications Commission, to apply for these special plates. The application must include proof of ownership of the amateur radio license, compliance with state motor vehicle registration laws, and payment of the regular license fee.

Significantly, the new legal language stipulates that the special plates will feature the official amateur radio call letters assigned by the Federal Communications Commission, along with the words "AMATEUR RADIO." Additionally, applicants can request up to five plates with the same call letters, with the department assigning an ascending number from two to five for each subsequent plate issued to the same applicant. This amendment aims to streamline the process and enhance the visibility of amateur radio operators on the road.
