ND HB1093

Amends Section 54-27-19 of the North Dakota Century Code to modify how the highway tax distribution fund allocates revenues from motor vehicle registration fees, fuel taxes, and related collections.

State treasurer transfers the first $5.5 million per biennium from the highway tax distribution fund to the state highway fund for administrative assistance, with remaining funds allocated monthly as: 61.3% to state department of transportation, 2.7% to township highway fund, 1.5% to public transportation fund, and 34.5% to counties based on vehicle registrations.

Clarifies allocation formulas for distributing county shares to incorporated cities based on population size, with a statewide per capita average calculation using 27% of total county allocations divided by total incorporated city population.

Establishes tiered multipliers for city allocations based on population: cities under 1,000 receive 1.50 times the statewide per capita average; cities with 1,000-4,999 population receive 1.25 times the average; cities with 5,000+ population receive the calculated statewide per capita average for that tier.

Passed by the House 93-0 (1 absent) and Senate 47-0 (0 absent).
