The bill amends section 40-05-22 of the North Dakota Century Code to allow the operation of golf carts on city streets under specific conditions set by local ordinances. The governing body of a city can permit this operation, but the ordinance must prohibit golf carts from being used on federal, state, or county highways, except for perpendicular crossings.
A significant change in the bill is the removal of the restriction that previously allowed golf carts only for daytime travel between a residence and a golf course. The new language permits golf carts to operate on city streets at night, expanding their usage. Additionally, golf carts that are authorized to operate under these ordinances will be exempt from the title, registration, and equipment requirements outlined in title 39.
