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 fee of $350 for initial registration. The bill also includes provisions for the transfer of ownership of permanently registered trailers, stipulating that the original owner must remove the license plate upon transfer and may apply to transfer the registration number to a newly acquired trailer without incurring additional fees, provided they pay the necessary fees for permanent registration.

Additionally, the bill creates new subsections in existing statutes to clarify the registration process for commercial trailers and outlines the distribution of registration fees. It specifies that the permanent registration of a trailer under the new provisions cannot be transferred to a new owner, who will be subject to all applicable fees for registration. The act will apply to trailers registered on or after its effective date of July 1, 2025, and repeals a previous subsection related to annual renewal requirements.
