The bill amends section 40-05-22 of the North Dakota Century Code to regulate the operation of golf carts on city streets. It allows city governing bodies to permit golf cart usage through an ordinance, while explicitly prohibiting their operation on federal, state, or county highways, except for perpendicular crossings.
A significant change in the bill is the removal of the restriction that previously limited golf cart operation on city streets to daytime travel between the owner's residence and a golf course. The new language permits golf carts to operate on city streets at night, thereby expanding the hours during which they can be used. Additionally, golf carts operating under this ordinance will be exempt from the title, registration, and equipment provisions of title 39.
