This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to enhance the process for individuals using single fee discount plans, specifically in relation to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the Parkways Authority. It introduces new provisions requiring the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles and the Parkways Authority to propose rules for legislative approval to implement these changes. Additionally, it mandates the creation of a procedure for the DMV to provide the Parkways Authority with updated vehicle registration information whenever a user of the single fee discount plan updates their vehicle details.

Furthermore, the bill modifies existing language regarding vehicle registration expiration upon transfer of ownership. It clarifies that the registration will expire when the title is transferred, but allows the owner to apply for a transfer of registration plates to another vehicle within 60 days of purchase. The bill also includes provisions for the surrender of registration plates and the exchange for plates of a different class, ensuring that the process remains efficient and user-friendly. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the updating process for drivers using the EZ-Pass system while maintaining compliance with existing regulations.
