SSB 1135

This bill authorizes the department of transportation (DOT) to issue a motor vehicle special registration sticker that may be displayed on the driver’s side of the windshield of certain motor vehicles. If the special registration sticker is so displayed, the motor vehicle may be operated without the front registration plate attached. The front registration plate must be carried in the vehicle at all times when the vehicle is operated on a public highway and must be available to any peace officer for inspection upon the officer’s request. Requirements for the display of a rear registration plate and annual validation sticker are not altered by the bill. The fee for a special registration sticker is $50. The fees collected by the DOT for special registration stickers must be remitted to the treasurer of state and deposited in the road use tax fund. Under the bill, a special registration sticker issued for a motor vehicle is valid for one year and must be issued at the same time as the vehicle registration plates or validation sticker, as applicable. By operation of law, a violation of the provisions of the bill is punishable by a scheduled fine of $30.
