Bill Summary
AN ACT TO ENACT THE JOE JOHN REMEMBRANCE ACT TO REMOVE THE ADDITIONAL FEE FOR A FIRE DEPARTMENT OR RESCUE SQUAD MEMBER SPECIAL REGISTRATION PLATE.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Joe John Remembrance Act, amends North Carolina's motor vehicle registration laws by removing the additional fee for special registration plates issued to fire department or rescue squad members. Specifically, the bill modifies existing state law (G.S. 20-79.7) to eliminate the extra charge that was previously required for these special plates, meaning fire and rescue personnel will now be able to obtain their specialized license plates without paying any additional fee beyond the standard motor vehicle registration cost. The legislative change will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all special registration plates for fire department and rescue squad members issued or renewed on or after that date. By waiving the extra fee, the bill appears intended to provide a small financial benefit and show appreciation for the service of fire and rescue workers.
