Floor Amendment to HB 388-FN

 

Amend the bill by replacing section 1 with the following:

 

1  Number Plates.  Amend RSA 261:75 to read as follows:

I. The department shall design and issue to every person whose vehicle is registered a number plate or plates for a fee of $4.00 per plate, provided that in the event a private passenger vehicle is only issued one plate, the fee for such plate shall be $8.00. Such plate or plates shall be furnished by the department yearly or at whatever interval of years the department shall determine. In all cases such plate or plates shall bear on the face thereof a permanent or changeable designation of their effective period.

II.  Every vehicle driven in or on any way in this state, if required to be registered hereunder, shall have displayed conspicuously thereon a number plate or plates to be furnished by the department, together with any current validation sticker issued by the department and which has a changeable designation of their effective period.  The director may make special rules relative to the number of plates, the location of said plate or plates on the vehicle, and the material and design thereof, provided, however, that number plates for passenger vehicles shall have the state motto "Live Free or Die" written thereon, and further provided that a private passenger vehicle shall only be required to display one number plate on the rear of the vehicle.  The plate shall be kept clean.
