Bill > HB5139

This bill authorizes the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue special license plates for municipal fire department vehicles, similar to how special plates are already provided for municipal law-enforcement departments. These new plates will feature blue lettering on a white background, with "West Virginia" at the top and a fire department insignia, along with other identifying text, to clearly mark the vehicle as belonging to a municipal fire department. The bill also specifies that these plates must be made of reflectorized material and that the colors cannot be reversed. This change is an addition to existing law, which already outlines specific license plate designs and uses for various state, county, and municipal vehicles, including provisions for law enforcement and undercover operations.
