MANDATE SUMMARY
Program/
Effect on
PURPOSE/MECHANICS HB 172 HCS 3 adopts the provisions of the second committee substitute in their entirety with the following changes: In Section 2, amend subsection (9) to establish conditions groups must comply with prior to being eligible to apply for a special license plate; amend subsection (10) to establish an appeals process for a person or group denied a special license plate by the Transportation Cabinet; and amend Section 7 pertaining to the issuance of personalized license plates to conform. HB 172 HCS 3 is an omnibus revision of provisions governing the issuance of special license plates. The bill establishes fees to be collected for special plates, and sets out rules and guidelines for issuing new special plates.
The fiscal impact of HB 172 HCS 3 on local governments is expected to be minimal to moderate. The bill affects clerks' offices because those agencies are responsible for issuing license plates and collecting the fees charged for the plates. The bill does not affect the $3 fee that clerks currently receive for issuing regular or special plates. Section 1 of the bill allows any special license plate to be combined with a personalized license plate for a $25 fee, of which the County Clerk will receive $5. Of the approximate 2.2 million car and light truck license plates issued in 2003, almost 270,000 were special plates. The state issued over 40,000 personalized or vanity plates in 2003. The opportunity to combine special and personalized plates currently exists only with the military plate, according to LRC staff. An official with the Kentucky County Clerks' Association said the provision may not lead to increased special plate sales, rather, more special license plate purchasers may decide to personalize their plates, which could result in a moderate increase in revenue for some County Clerks.
