Relating to designating a portion of state highway 5 in Bottineau as the LCDR Carl J. Woods Vietnam bridge; to provide a continuing appropriation; and to declare an emergency.
HB 1518 would update North Dakota's traffic code to clarify rules for driving around rotary traffic islands (roundabouts). It requires vehicles to drive only to the right of such islands and mandates drivers to signal before exiting a rotary. The bill specifically applies to drivers navigating designated roundabouts on one-way roadways, as defined in the amended traffic code section. This proposal did not pass the legislature, with 3 votes in favor and 43 against.
SB 2142 would redirect 25% of North Dakota's motor vehicle excise tax revenue to a new "township road and bridge sustainability fund" instead of previous allocations. This fund would provide annual payments to non-oil-producing counties for road and bridge projects in eligible townships, based on road miles. To qualify, townships must submit annual certifications showing road miles, township funds, and local tax rates, while excluding those that didn't maintain roads or met other criteria. The bill specifies that funds must be used solely for road and bridge construction, maintenance, or repairs. It would take effect for taxes collected after July 31, 2025, if passed.
Relating to a county and township bridge fund and a legacy earnings tax relief fund; to amend and reenact section 21‑10‑13 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the legacy earnings fund; to provide a statement of legislative intent; to provide an appropriation; and to provide an expiration date.
Relating to the state share of oil and gas tax revenue allocations, the municipal infrastructure fund, and the county and township infrastructure fund.
SB 2391 would designate Stutsman County Road 62 (from its junction with State Highway 46 to its junction with Interstate 94) as part of North Dakota's state highway system. This bill directly affects travelers using this road segment and Stutsman County, as it would transfer maintenance and jurisdiction from the county to the state. The key provision requires the state director to officially add this specific road section to the state highway system. This is a procedural bill focused solely on road designation, with no new funding or policy changes.
