This bill amends sections of the North Dakota Century Code to include provisions for special number plates for forestry vehicles, in addition to existing regulations for farm vehicles. Specifically, it allows the director to issue special number plates or validation decals for trucks and combinations of trucks and trailers registered as either farm or forestry vehicles without an additional charge. The bill also mandates that the director will determine the design and size of these plates and establish rules for their issuance.

Furthermore, the bill revises the definition of vehicles eligible for registration under the farm vehicle category to include forestry vehicles. It clarifies that trucks used exclusively for forestry or forestry-related business can qualify for the same registration benefits as farm vehicles. The language changes include the insertion of definitions for "forestry vehicles" and adjustments to the existing definitions for "farm vehicles," ensuring that both types of vehicles are recognized under the same regulatory framework. Additionally, it modifies the penalty provisions for violations related to vehicle registration.
