AI Summary

This bill modifies the rules regarding the use of dealer's license plates, which are special plates issued to licensed motor vehicle dealers. Specifically, it now permits dealer plates to be used on vehicles that are delivering or transporting vehicle components, parts, accessories, and fuel, with a limitation that fuel transport can only be for five gallons or less and must be in a container approved by safety standards or the U.S. Department of Transportation.
