Missoula County supports HB 488: Revise license plate laws, up for hearing this afternoon, in the House Transportation Committee.
HB 488 eliminates rolling re-issue where a new license plate is required every five years regardless of the condition of that license plate. Rolling re-issue has been confusing and leads us to a lot of unnecessary conversations about how people think plates lose their reflectivity after five years unless it is a permanently registered vehicle, in which case its reflectivity is just fine. It also costs $10 to replace that license plate, of which Missoula County does not receive any reimbursement. It substantially reduces the efficiency of our staff in having to seek out and find a replacement plate and then assign it, versus assigning a sequentially numbered sticker. HB 488 would dramatically enhance our efficiency in processing registration renewals.
Additionally, the staff at the Treasurer’s Office already must handle permanent registrations separately, so requiring a replacement license plate upon permanent registration would not be nearly as large of a burden as requiring them every five years.
HB 488 would be beneficial to Missoula County residents and the Treasurer’s Office staff.
Missoula County supports HB 488, Revise license plate laws, up for second reading today on the House floor.
