BISMARCK (AP) -- North Dakota's license plates may have a new look beginning next year.
The state Senate voted 37-10 to issue new plates to every car, truck, motorcycle and trailer. Lawmakers last approved a new license plate issue in 1991.
The bill would allow the state to charge a one-time fee of $5 per registration for the new plates. It now goes to the House.
State transportation officials say they would hold a public contest to find a design. It would cost more than $4 million to make and distribute the plates.
