ND SB2041

Court may order number plates destroyed by sheriff for duration of license suspension or revocation for certain driving offenses, with offender required to deliver plates to court without delay.

Cities may authorize municipal judges to order destruction of motor vehicle number plates by police officers who made arrests under the same procedures as state courts.

For second or subsequent driving under influence conviction within five years, court may order destruction of all motor vehicle number plates owned and operated by offender, with exception available to avoid undue hardship to dependents.

For second or subsequent conviction of driving without liability insurance within three-year period, court shall order number plates impounded until offender provides proof of insurance and twenty dollar fee to department.

Failure to deliver number plates to court at ordered time subjects offender to revocation of probation or, for insurance violations, classification as class B misdemeanor.
