This bill amends subsection 15 of section 57-40.3-04 of the North Dakota Century Code to expand the motor vehicle excise tax exemption for enrolled members of federally recognized Indian tribes. The amendment removes the previous requirement that the exemption only applies to individuals whose primary residence is within the boundaries of a reservation in North Dakota. Instead, the new language states that the exemption applies regardless of the individual's primary residence location, as long as they are an enrolled member of a tribe.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals must present documentation verifying their enrollment with a federally recognized Indian tribe located within the state to qualify for the exemption. The bill is declared an emergency measure, indicating its immediate importance for implementation.
