ND HB1199

Exempts non-lead vehicles in platoons from the requirement to maintain reasonable following distances under existing law.

Defines "platoon" as a group of motor vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle communications to travel in a unified manner at close following distances on multilane, limited-access, divided highways.

Requires the Department of Transportation, in coordination with the State Highway Patrol Superintendent, to develop operational guidelines for platoon operations.

Mandates that platoon technology providers or commercial motor vehicle operators file an operational plan with the department for approval before operating a platoon.

Establishes a $100 fee for operating a motor vehicle in a platoon without an approved plan and a $100 fee for violating the guidelines in an approved operational plan.
