Bill > HB1045

This bill establishes a new "share the road" specialty license plate for South Dakota residents with specific guidelines and requirements. Residents who own automobiles, pickup trucks, vans, motorcycles, or non-commercial motor vehicles may obtain these specialty plates upon paying current registration fees. The plates will be designed by the Department of Revenue in cooperation with the Department of Transportation, with the specific goal of promoting bicycle safety awareness. The design must be approved by the secretary of the Department of Revenue, and the specialty plates will replace standard number plates while being displayed according to existing state regulations. An additional administrative fee of ten dollars will be charged for these specialty plates, and this fee will be deposited into the license plate special revenue fund. The new plates will be subject to the same annual renewal process as standard vehicle registrations, providing drivers with an option to support bicycle safety visibility through their license plate choice.
