What’s in it

This bill authorizes the department of transportation (DOT) to design and issue green warning special registration plates. The bill requires green warning plates to contain a green background and to be designed to serve as a warning to first responders about any unique hazards relating to battery electric motor vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric motor vehicles involved in a traffic accident or emergency. The bill provides that there is no additional special fee for the issuance of letter-number designated green warning plates; however, an applicant obtaining personalized green warning plates must pay a $25 fee as set forth under current law.

Read the full explanation

Upon receipt of the special registration plates, the applicant must surrender the current registration plates to the county treasurer. The county treasurer must validate the special registration plates in the same manner as regular registration plates are validated. There is no additional annual fee for letter-number designated green warning plates other than the regular annual registration fee. However, the annual fee for personalized green warning plates is $5 as set forth under current law.
