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 introduces the term "forestry vehicles" and allows the director to issue special number plates or validation decals for both farm and forestry vehicles without an additional charge, provided that the application and registration fee are paid. The bill also outlines the criteria for what constitutes a forestry vehicle, defining it as motor vehicles used in the business of forestry or a forestry-related business.
Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language regarding the registration of trucks or combinations of trucks and trailers used as farm vehicles, expanding the definition to include forestry vehicles. It clarifies the registration fee schedule for these vehicles based on their weight and establishes penalties for violations of the registration requirements. The changes aim to streamline the registration process and provide clearer definitions and guidelines for vehicle classifications related to agricultural and forestry operations.
