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 required 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 do not bear a date but will include the inscription "Permanent."

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the permanent registration cannot be transferred to a new owner upon the sale of the vehicle, and the original owner must remove the permanent license plates upon transfer. The bill also includes a fee exemption for vehicles that are permanently registered. 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.
