Bill No. 2431 amends Section 1135.4 of the Oklahoma Statutes regarding personalized license plates. The bill authorizes Service Oklahoma to design and issue these plates, which will be available in specific color combinations: black lettering on a white field or white lettering on a black field. It establishes that personalized special license plates cannot be transferred to another person but can be used on a different vehicle after the original vehicle's ownership is transferred. Additionally, the bill outlines the renewal process for these plates, which will now be managed by Service Oklahoma, and specifies that notifications for renewals will be sent via email or traditional mail, depending on the recipient's preference.
The bill also modifies the fee structure for personalized license plates, with a renewal fee of $20 per year, which includes allocations to both the Oklahoma Tax Commission Reimbursement Fund and the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund starting January 1, 2023. The legislation further clarifies the eligibility criteria for various types of personalized plates, including those for military veterans and vintage vehicles. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
