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 section 39-04-19, expanding it to include forestry vehicles. It clarifies that trucks used exclusively for forestry or forestry-related business can be registered under the same fee schedule as farm vehicles. The language regarding the definition of farm vehicles has been updated to include specific criteria for forestry vehicles, ensuring that both types of vehicles are recognized under the law. Additionally, penalties for violations of registration requirements are outlined, emphasizing the importance of compliance with the new regulations.
