Bill Summary
Use of license plates; special permit; validity period. Extends from five to 30 days the validity period of a special permit authorizing the use of license plates on a vehicle other than the vehicle for which the license plates were issued, when the vehicle for which the license plates were issued is undergoing repairs in a licensed motor vehicle dealer's repair shop and when the license plates are being used on a vehicle owned by the dealer in whose repair shop the vehicle is being repaired. The bill removes the provisions authorizing the renewal of such permit and limiting such renewals to once per permit.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the rules for special permits that allow license plates to be used on a different vehicle temporarily. Specifically, it extends the maximum validity period of such a permit from five days to 30 days. These permits are intended for situations where a vehicle is being repaired at a licensed motor vehicle dealer's repair shop, and the license plates need to be used on a replacement vehicle owned by that same dealer. The bill also removes the previous provision that allowed for the renewal of these permits, and the limitation that only one renewal was permitted per emergency.
