The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the use of manufacturer license plates for unladen trucks and passenger vehicles. Under the current law, these vehicles are exempt from registration while being used according to specific regulations, and they must display a manufacturer test license plate. The bill introduces an alternative to the existing requirement for a record of assignment, allowing a person to use a manufacturer vehicle for personal transportation if they have other evidence of a contract and designation present in the vehicle. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language that specifies who may use a manufacturer plate. The current law allows only certain individuals, such as full-time employees or designated contractors, to operate the vehicle for personal use if a record of assignment is maintained. The new language would remove the stipulation that a record of assignment must be present and instead permit the use of a manufacturer plate as long as other evidence of a contract and designation is available inside the vehicle. This change aims to simplify the requirements for personal use of manufacturer vehicles.
