This bill allows duly recognized consular officers of foreign governments to receive special motor vehicle license plates from the Department of Revenue (DOR). The plates will feature a navy blue background and may, with the approval of the Director of the Department, feature the flag of the consular officer's country. However, the plates will not contain any wording identifying consular status.
Consular plates will begin with the letter "C" followed by no more than three digits. To apply for the plates, a consular officer will present appropriate credentials issued or recognized by the United States Department of State and pay established fees determined by the Director of DOR.
Previously issued plates bearing the words "Honorary Consul" will remain valid until their expiration.
