HB 1366 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact sections 39-06.1-06, 40-05-06, and 40-11-12 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to speeding violations, city fines, and nonpayment of fines; and to provide a penalty.

HB 1366 would establish specific fee amounts for speeding violations in North Dakota, directly affecting drivers who exceed speed limits. The bill sets tiered fees based on how many miles per hour over the limit a driver was traveling (e.g., $5 for 1-5 mph over in most zones, escalating to $500 for 10+ mph over in certain high-speed zones), with higher fees for school zones ($40 for 1-10 mph over) and construction zones ($80 for 1-10 mph over). It also specifies additional fees for violations like failing to yield to pedestrians or speeding in commercial vehicle safety rules. The bill does not change speed limits or enforcement procedures, only the financial penalties for specific speeding offenses.
