This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code to introduce a new category of license plates known as "military sacrifice plates" and modifies existing provisions regarding personalized plates. Specifically, it amends section 39-04-10.3 to include military sacrifice plates among the special license plates that do not incur an additional fee, alongside gold star and prisoner of war plates. The bill establishes eligibility criteria for military sacrifice plates, which are available to immediate family members of individuals who died outside a combat zone while serving honorably in the armed forces, provided they meet certain conditions.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for obtaining military sacrifice plates, including the requirement for verification of eligibility by the department and the issuance of distinctive plates inscribed with a specific emblem and the words "military sacrifice." It defines "immediate family member" to include spouses, parents, siblings, children, and grandparents, and restricts the issuance of these plates to owners of passenger vehicles or trucks with a registered gross vehicle weight rating not exceeding 20,000 pounds.
