A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 39-06-49, subsection 1 of section 39-06.2-07, subsection 2 of section 39-06.2-08, subdivision c of subsection 3 of section 39-06.2-09, sections 39-06.2-09.1, 39-06.2-13.1, and 39-06.2-19, and subsection 3 of section 39-16-03 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to driver's license fees.
This bill consolidates and updates the fee schedule for North Dakota driver's licenses and related services into a single section (39-06-49) of the Century Code. It directly affects all drivers applying for, renewing, or modifying licenses, including commercial drivers and those seeking endorsements. Key provisions include standardizing fees for commercial license applications ($15), endorsements ($3 each), nonresident commercial licenses ($20), and driving record requests ($3 for employers). The bill does not change the actual fee amounts but reorganizes where these fees are referenced in state law for clarity and administrative efficiency.
