This bill amends section 39-04-10.10 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the issuance of distinctive number plates for veterans. The amendments include the removal of specific payment requirements for initial fees and annual surcharges for veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart. Instead, the bill simplifies the language regarding the payment of fees required for motor vehicle registration, while maintaining the eligibility criteria for veterans seeking these number plates.

Additionally, the bill modifies the management of funds collected from the issuance of these plates. It eliminates the previous requirement for the department to collect and report on fees and surcharges, instead placing the responsibility for the investment of the veterans' cemetery maintenance fund and veterans' cemetery trust fund with the state treasurer. The bill also allows the veterans' cemetery trust fund to accept funds from private and federal sources, enhancing the financial support available for the maintenance and operation of the veterans' cemetery.
