FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB1523 by Farabee (Relating to the number of license plates to be issued for and displayed on certain motor vehicles.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Department of Transportation to issue only one license plate for vehicles owned by the state or a political subdivision of the state. The bill would also require the license plate to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle while operating on public streets.
The Department of Transportation estimates a savings of approximately $70,000 each year for reduced license plate manufacturing costs; however, it is assumed that any savings realized from the implementation of the bill would be used for other eligible transportation related expenditures.
