Bill > SB293

This bill, titled "License Plates for Certain Veterans; the number of free license plates issued to certain veterans; increase," primarily focuses on revising penalties and regulations related to motor vehicle titles, registration, and dealer operations in Georgia. Key provisions include increasing penalties for various offenses concerning license plates, revalidation decals, temporary operating permits, certificates of registration, and certificates of title, with some violations now classified as felonies and fines significantly raised. It also introduces limitations on the private use of dealer vehicles by employees, mandates specific materials for dealer license plates, and makes the State Board of Registration of Used Motor Vehicle Dealers and Used Motor Vehicle Parts Dealers subject to the "Georgia Administrative Procedure Act," which governs how state agencies conduct rulemaking and adjudicatory proceedings. Additionally, the bill outlines new requirements for obtaining licenses as a used motor vehicle dealer or parts dealer, authorizes investigations by the Department of Revenue, and requires an annual report to the General Assembly on fraud related to dealers and temporary operating permits.
