What changed in the latest version
36 added · 21 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to House Bill No. 1522 clarify how and when golf carts can operate on city streets in North Dakota. The bill allows cities to pass ordinances permitting golf carts, but prohibits their use on highways except at perpendicular crossings. Additionally, it specifies that golf carts can be used on city streets primarily for daytime travel to and from golf courses. This change is important because it creates clear guidelines for safe and restricted use of golf carts, encouraging recreational activity while ensuring public safety.
