Senate Bill 2060 Summary

• Adds section 39-21-41.4 violations to the $50 fee category for moving violations in North Dakota, alongside existing violations for reckless driving and failure to yield.

• Removes the reference to section 39-21-41.5 (secondary enforcement) from safety belt requirements, making safety belt violations enforceable as primary offenses rather than only when a vehicle is stopped for another reason.

• Repeals section 39-21-41.5 entirely, eliminating the secondary enforcement limitation that previously allowed safety belt citations only during stops for other violations.

• Clarifies that safety belt violations are not admissible as evidence of negligence and cannot be used in proceedings other than those charging the specific violation.

• Maintains existing exemptions for children in proper restraints, farm vehicle operators, rural mail carriers, persons with medical conditions preventing restraint, and vehicles with all front seat belts in use.
