This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the issuance of specialized license plates for municipal fire departments. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that allow registration plates issued to city or municipality fire departments to feature blue lettering on a white background, with the words "West Virginia" on top and a fire department insignia along with other identifying lettering. The design must adhere to specific guidelines, including the use of reflectorized material, and these plates must be affixed to both the front and rear of the vehicles.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding registration plates for municipal law enforcement departments, ensuring that both types of specialized plates are clearly defined and differentiated. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance the identification of municipal fire department vehicles through distinct and recognizable license plates, thereby promoting public awareness and support for these essential services.
