This bill amends and reenacts subdivision a of subsection 2 of section 39-04-19 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the registration fees for passenger motor vehicles. The bill outlines a fee schedule based on the gross weight of the vehicle, detailing specific registration fees for various weight categories. Additionally, it clarifies the registration process for house cars and pickup trucks, specifying that a pickup truck's registration fees will be determined by its shipping gross vehicle weight rating, with a minimum registered gross weight requirement.

Key changes include the insertion of the term "vehicle" and "rating" to clarify the definition of shipping gross vehicle weight, and the deletion of the requirement that the registered gross weight must be "twice" the shipping gross weight. The bill also establishes that owners of pickup trucks must ensure their registered gross weight is adequate to cover the total weight of the vehicle and any load it carries. The effective date for this legislation is set for January 1, 2026.
