Bill > H782

This bill clarifies the rules for special registration plates issued to civic clubs in North Carolina by modifying the existing law to explicitly state that "a member" of a nationally recognized civic organization can include the organization itself if the organization is the registered owner of the vehicle. The bill expands the list of example civic clubs by adding "Lions Club" and maintains the existing requirements that such special plates must be issued only if at least 300 applications are received. The special registration plates will continue to bear the specific word or phrase and emblem of the civic club, and the registration fees and restrictions for these plates remain the same for both motor vehicles and motorcycles. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in plate ownership for civic organizations by allowing the organization itself to be considered a "member" eligible for the special registration plate.
