FIRST ENGROSSMENT → Enrollment · 3 edits
MINOR
This bill updates the formatting and presentation of House Bill 1118, which amends North Dakota Century Code sections related to vehicle license plates and temporary registration permits. The changes primarily involve updating the document header to reflect the current legislative session (January 2025) and reorganizing the bill text layout for clarity.
TECHNICAL

Updated document header to reflect the Sixty-ninth Legislative Assembly in Regular Session commencing January 7, 2025, replacing the previous 'FIRST ENGROSSED' designation.

Reorganized bill structure by moving the 'BE IT ENACTED' language to appear after the committee attribution rather than before it, and consolidated the act description into a single header section.

Removed page number headers and footer information that were part of the original engrossment format but not needed in the final enrollment version.
