The bill mandates that the Department of Transportation will be responsible for issuing license plates for motor vehicles, replacing the previous requirement for county treasurers to handle this task. It clarifies that applicants will receive either one or two license plates based on whether their vehicle has a front plate bracket. Additionally, the bill removes the stipulation that license plates must be replaced after a specified time, allowing them to remain valid until they are deemed unreadable or unrecognizable by law enforcement. The bill also includes provisions for the issuance of special decals for breast cancer awareness and establishes a fee structure for replacement plates.
Furthermore, the bill requires the Department of Transportation to adopt necessary rules for implementation by January 1, 2027, while the majority of the provisions will take effect immediately upon the bill's passage. The changes aim to streamline the process of license plate issuance and enhance the clarity of regulations surrounding vehicle registration in Wyoming.
