The bill amends various sections of Wyoming's motor vehicle laws to streamline the issuance of license plates and registration certificates by transferring the responsibility from county treasurers to the Department of Transportation. Key changes include the requirement for the department to issue one license plate or validation sticker for vehicles without a front plate bracket and two license plates for those with a front plate bracket. Additionally, the bill removes the previous mandate for license plates to be replaced after a specified time, allowing them to remain valid until they are no longer readable or recognizable by a peace officer.

The bill also includes provisions for the issuance of special license plates, such as those for disabled veterans and emergency medical technicians, and establishes that the department will handle the issuance of decals for breast cancer awareness and other special designations. The Department of Transportation is tasked with adopting necessary rules to implement these changes by January 1, 2027, while the act itself becomes effective immediately, with specific sections taking effect on the same date.
