This bill amends the eligibility requirements for the permanent registration of trailers in Wyoming, specifically allowing for the permanent registration of trailers that qualify as commercial vehicles. It introduces a fee exemption for permanently registered trailers and establishes a one-time registration fee of $350. The bill also specifies that owners of trailers that are permanently registered will not be subject to additional registration fees as long as they own the trailer. Additionally, it creates new subsections in existing laws to clarify the registration process and requirements for both standard and commercial trailers.

Key changes include the insertion of provisions that allow for the permanent registration of commercial trailers, the removal of certain previous requirements, and the establishment of a distinctive license plate for permanently registered trailers. The bill also clarifies that the permanent registration of a trailer cannot be transferred to a new owner, who will then be subject to all applicable fees for registration. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to trailers registered on or after that date.
