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 on federal, state, or county highways, except for perpendicular crossings.

A significant change in the law 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 allows for golf cart operation at night, expanding the permissible use of these vehicles. Additionally, golf carts operating under such ordinances will be exempt from the title, registration, and equipment provisions outlined in title 39.
