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 issued on a staggered system, and outlines that personalized special license plates cannot be transferred to another person but can be reused on a different vehicle after the original vehicle's ownership is transferred. The bill also specifies that personalized plates must be renewed annually, with notifications sent via email or mail, depending on whether an email address is provided. The fees for these renewals will be paid from the Oklahoma Tax Commission Reimbursement Fund until January 1, 2023, after which they will be paid from the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions for the design of personalized plates, allowing for combinations of letters and numbers, and specifies that Service Oklahoma will make the plates available with black lettering on a white field or white lettering on a black field. The renewal fee for personalized plates is set at $20 per year, with specific allocations of that fee designated for administrative purposes. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
