North Dakota Century Code Title 54. State Government § 54-27-19.2. Reporting of number of motor vehicles registered on Indian reservations--Use for determining each county's share of highway tax distribution fund

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Before the tenth day of each month, each governing body of an Indian reservation having a motor vehicle registration ordinance may report the number of motor vehicles registered on the reservation to the director of the department of transportation. The director of the department of transportation shall multiply the number of motor vehicles reported by a factor that represents the portion of funds in the highway tax distribution fund derived from taxes on motor fuels and other special fuels during the most recent fiscal year. The director of the department of transportation shall report the resulting product to the state treasurer for incorporation into the county distribution formula in subsection 2 of section 54-27-19 as follows:

1. Where the boundaries of the Indian reservation do not encompass more than one county, the director of the department of transportation shall credit the total product to that county.

2. Where the boundaries of the Indian reservation encompass more than one county, the director of the department of transportation shall allocate the product to each county containing a portion of the Indian reservation in the ratio of the number of reservation registered motor vehicles in that county to the total of reservation registered motor vehicles in all the counties containing a portion of that Indian reservation. If the number of reservation registered motor vehicles in a county containing a portion of an Indian reservation is not available, the director of the department of transportation shall allocate the product to each county containing a portion of an Indian reservation in the ratio of the number of miles of county roads, as designated under section 24-05-16, within the county on the reservation to the total of the number of miles of county roads on the reservation.
