HB0051

Multiple Special Handicapped License Plates

Last scannedOct 18, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill would allow eligible people to get a set of special license plates for each vehicle they own, instead of just one set total.

What it does

  • Allows county treasurers to issue a set of special license plates for each vehicle registered to an eligible applicant.
  • Requires payment of required fees for each set of plates issued.
  • Repeals a previous provision that conflicted with issuing multiple sets of plates.
  • Sets an effective date of July 1, 2008, if the bill becomes law.

Who it affects

  • People eligible for special handicapped license plates.
  • County treasurers who issue vehicle registrations and plates.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass in the 2008 session, so these changes did not take effect.
  • The bill does not define who is eligible for the plates, referring instead to existing state law.
