This bill amends section 39-04-10.10 of the North Dakota Century Code regarding the issuance of distinctive number plates for veterans. It allows the director to issue these plates to individuals eligible for interment in the North Dakota veterans' cemetery, contingent upon the payment of all required registration fees. The bill removes specific language regarding initial and annual fees for veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart, indicating that they will not be subject to these fees.

Additionally, the bill modifies the management of funds collected from the issuance of these number plates. It eliminates the requirement for the department to report on the funds collected during each legislative session and outlines the responsibilities of the state treasurer regarding the investment of the veterans' cemetery maintenance and trust funds. The bill also stipulates that interest from the veterans' cemetery trust fund may be deposited into the maintenance fund to support salaries and maintenance of the veterans' cemetery.
