This bill introduces new regulations regarding the use of engine compression brake devices by operators of commercial motor vehicles in North Dakota. It establishes a prohibition on the use of such devices in zones where their use creates a noise disturbance, with cities and counties empowered to adopt ordinances to enforce this prohibition and post appropriate signage. The bill also clarifies that the prohibition does not apply in emergency situations.

Additionally, the bill amends the definition of a "moving violation" to include violations related to the newly established section concerning engine compression brake devices, imposing a penalty of fifty dollars for violations. This amendment aims to ensure that the use of engine compression brakes is regulated effectively, contributing to noise control in designated areas.
