HB 1137 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

AN ACT to amend and reenact subsection 6 of section 39-01-15 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the display of mobility-impaired parking permits; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1137 requires drivers with mobility-impaired parking permits to display the permit visibly - either hung from the rearview mirror or placed on the dashboard - when using a reserved parking space. This applies directly to individuals with mobility impairments or those transporting them. The bill specifies that no part of the permit may be obscured and imposes a $5 fee for violations. The law, now signed into effect, clarifies display requirements to ensure proper use of designated parking spaces.
