Bill > HB378

This bill creates a new type of specialized license plate for members of the Blue Knights L.E.M.C. (Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club), allowing vehicle owners to apply for these distinctive plates for various types of vehicles including passenger cars, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. The plates will feature a unique logo and words selected by the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club and approved by the motor vehicle registrar. To obtain these plates, applicants must pay the standard vehicle registration fees, plus an additional ten-dollar administrative fee, which will be deposited into the public safety - highway purposes fund. The license plates will include standard county identification stickers and can be requested alongside other special license plate options. The bill specifies that the plates can be issued for different vehicle types, provided they are approved by the registrar, and requires applicants to comply with all existing motor vehicle registration laws. This legislation provides a way for law enforcement motorcycle club members to display their affiliation through a specialized license plate while generating a small additional revenue for state highway purposes.
