Bill > SCR87

This joint resolution directs multiple Delaware government agencies, including the Department of Transportation (DelDOT), Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Department of Justice, and State Police, to address the growing problem of counterfeit license plates. The resolution aims to develop a comprehensive strategy to protect Delaware drivers from fraudulent use of their vehicle registrations, focusing on the increasing issue of license plate counterfeiting that is causing innocent motorists to receive unwarranted toll violations and enforcement actions. The agencies are required to collaborate with transportation and law enforcement authorities in neighboring states like Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland to create a regional approach. The strategy will include coordinating violation data sharing, identifying patterns of fraudulent plate use, utilizing technology to detect inconsistencies, and establishing a centralized point of contact for victims of plate fraud. DelDOT and DMV must submit a preliminary report by December 1, 2025, and a final report by June 30, 2026, to various state entities detailing their actions, partnerships, findings, and potential legislative recommendations for improving enforcement and victim support.
