The bill establishes a framework for the permanent registration of certain vehicles in Wyoming, allowing owners to register their vehicles without the need for annual renewals. Specifically, vehicles that are not commercial and are in their fifteenth year of service or later can be permanently registered upon payment of a specified fee. The bill outlines the fees for permanent registration, which include an administration fee and an amount based on existing registration fees. Additionally, vehicles that are permanently registered will receive distinctive license plates that indicate their status and will not require annual validation.

The bill also includes provisions regarding the transfer of ownership for permanently registered vehicles, stating that such registrations will expire upon transfer, and the original owner must remove the license plates. The new owner will then be subject to standard registration fees. Furthermore, the bill exempts owners of permanently registered vehicles from certain registration fees. The Department of Transportation is tasked with creating the necessary rules to implement these changes, and the act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage.
