ND HB1027

Operating a motor vehicle in violation of restrictions on a restricted license is a class B misdemeanor, with mandatory revocation of the restricted license and extension of the underlying suspension for up to one year if the violation involved driving under the influence or related offenses.

Driving with a suspended or revoked license is a class B misdemeanor for the first through third offense within five years, and a class A misdemeanor for subsequent offenses within the same five-year period.

Drivers whose licenses are suspended for DUI or related violations must serve a minimum of four consecutive days in jail and cannot have sentences suspended or deferred, with bail forfeiture prohibited.

A court may dismiss a charge under this section if the defendant's operator's license is reinstated within sixty days of the offense with satisfactory proof provided to the court.

Court-ordered impoundment of vehicle license plates is authorized for the duration of suspension or revocation periods, with release possible only to bona fide purchasers with new vehicle titles.
