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 makes provisions for registration plates issued to municipal law enforcement departments, which will also have a distinct design featuring blue lettering on a white background and a law enforcement shield. The overall aim of the bill is to enhance the identification of municipal fire and law enforcement vehicles through specialized license plates, thereby improving public recognition and safety.
