CSHB 482(TRA) - MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION
Peter Ecklund, staff to Representative Williams, sponsor of HB 482,
explained the bill allows senior citizens and handicapped citizens
the ability to get a lifetime registration for their vehicles. At
present, those citizens pay no annual fee to register one vehicle
per person. Instead of requiring the participants to register the
vehicle annually, they will only have to register the vehicle once.
The bill will streamline the workload for the Division of Motor
Vehicles (DMV), and be more convenient for participants.
JUANITA HENSLEY, DMV, Department of Administration, stated HB 482
strongly supports HB 482 as it will help the 14,000 senior citizens
in the state who qualify for the exemption, and the 6,000
individuals who are registered with handicap license plates.
SENATOR GREEN asked if DMV issues handicap license plates for
people with temporary disabilities.
MS. HENSLEY explained DMV issues a temporary handicap placard for
people who meet the federal requirements if a physician verifies
that the person needs the temporary placard. HB 482 will not apply
to those individuals.
SENATOR GREEN moved CSHB 482(TRA) out of committee with individual
recommendations and its zero fiscal note. There being no
objection, the motion carried.
