AI Summary
This bill modifies the rules for personalized license plates and vehicle registration fees. Specifically, it changes the registration period for personalized license plates, which are special plates with custom text or numbers chosen by the owner, from being tied to the original issuance date to a new, unspecified period. Additionally, county treasurers, the division of vehicles (the state agency responsible for vehicle registration), or their contractors will be authorized to charge increased service fees for vehicle registration transactions. From July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028, these entities may charge up to $15 for such transactions, and county treasurers may also charge a transaction fee of up to $5. The bill also repeals existing laws related to these matters.
