SF 312 – Business-trade and Special Truck License Plates

FLOOR ACTION:

SF 312, as amended, phases out the license plates for business-trade trucks and special farm trucks. Currently, persons receiving these discount registrations are required to display a license plate that says “business-trade” or “special” on it. Under the bill, the next time these plates are replaced, the owner of a vehicle with these types of registration will be eligible for a regular license plate or any of the specialty plates currently available to everyone else. Owners have the option of replacing their license plates sooner at their own cost. The bill does not change registration or license plate fees. The bill also prohibits a business-trade and special truck vehicles from having more than one set of firefighter plates. [4/11: 48-0 (Boettger, Hahn excused)]
