The bill introduces provisions for the permanent registration of certain vehicles in Wyoming, allowing owners to register their vehicles permanently without the need for annual renewals. Specifically, it permits the permanent registration of vehicles that are not commercial and are in their eleventh year of service or later, upon payment of a specified fee. The fees include a permanent registration state administration fee of $87.50 and an amount equal to five times the applicable registration fee. Once a vehicle is permanently registered, the owner is exempt from further registration fees as long as they own the vehicle.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for transferring ownership of a permanently registered vehicle. Upon transfer, the permanent registration expires, and the original owner must remove the license plates. The new owner will then be subject to all applicable registration fees. The bill also amends existing statutes to incorporate these new provisions, including changes to the registration requirements and the transfer of ownership process. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2023.
