This bill amends sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to vehicle number plates and introduces new provisions regarding their issuance and display. Specifically, it mandates that the Department of Transportation furnish two number plates to every motor vehicle owner, while also allowing for the option to request a single plate for an additional fee of $125. The bill also clarifies that motorcycles, trailers, and house trailers will receive one plate, and it provides the department with discretion to issue only one plate for certain apportioned vehicles.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for displaying number plates on vehicles, stating that vehicles must display two plates unless the owner opts to pay the additional fee for a single plate. It also specifies that number plates for motorcycles and trailers must be attached to the rear and may be displayed vertically. A new penalty of $200 is introduced for violations of the number plate display requirements. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the process of number plate issuance and clarify the regulations surrounding their display on vehicles.
