HB 2842: license plate standards; reflectivity; reissuance

Sponsor:  Representative Kern, LD 20

Committee on Transportation

Overview

Requires the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to reissue a license plate within three years after the plate's reflective material warranty expires.

History

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 28-2351, ADOT is required to provide every owner one license place for each vehicle registered. At the request of the owner and on payment of the prescribed fee, ADOT is required to provide one additional license plate for a vehicle for which a special plate is requested. A plate is required to be coated in a reflective material that is consistent with the determination of ADOT regarding the color and design of license plates and special plates. 

If a license plate is mutilated or illegible, the owner is required to return the plate to ADOT and a new plate must be reissued on payment of a $5 fee (A.R.S. § 28-2352).
