This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to grant the Division of Motor Vehicles the authority to issue special registration plates specifically for autism awareness. The new provisions include the requirement for the division to design a unique plate for qualified applicants, allowing for multiple vehicles to be registered under this special designation. Additionally, the bill establishes a one-time initial application fee of $10, along with an annual fee of $15 for each plate, which will be deposited into the State Road Fund.

The bill also outlines general requirements for registration plates, such as the use of reflectorized material and the readability of registration numbers from a distance. It maintains existing provisions regarding the suspension of registration for damaged or illegible plates and allows for the acceptance of electronic signatures in compliance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Overall, the legislation aims to promote autism awareness through the issuance of these specialized plates while ensuring compliance with existing registration standards.
