This bill amends various sections of Wyoming's motor vehicle registration laws to clarify the availability of special license plates for multipurpose vehicles. Specifically, it allows for the issuance of special license plates for multipurpose vehicles owned or leased by former prisoners of war, Pearl Harbor survivors, members of the National Guard, armed forces veterans, and other specified groups. The bill also removes the restriction that previously excluded multipurpose vehicles from eligibility for firefighter, University of Wyoming, emergency medical technician, gold star, tribal, wildlife conservation, and organ donation license plates.

Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of January 1, 2026, for these changes. The amendments aim to ensure that individuals who own multipurpose vehicles can access the same special license plate options as those with other types of vehicles, thereby promoting inclusivity for all vehicle owners in Wyoming.
