1341 - Special registration plates generally.

     § 1341.  Special registration plates generally.
        Upon request by the applicant, the department may issue
     registration plates consisting of any combination of numbers,
     letters or numbers and letters. These special plates may be
     issued for special groups or for special purposes and bear an
     appropriate designation. Special groups may charge a fee for
     authorization to request a registration plate bearing the name
     of the group. They shall have the same force and effect as
     regular registration plates. The department may refuse any
     combination of letters and numbers for cause and shall adopt
     reasonable rules and regulations for the issuance of the plates
     and for carrying out the provisions of this section. The
     applicant shall comply with all laws and regulations pertaining
     to registration including the payment of any additional fees.
     The department is authorized to reissue a combination of numbers
     or letters for a personal plate if the department records reveal
     that no activity, such as renewal or transfer of the personal
     registration plate, has occurred for a period of five or more
     consecutive years and provided that the personal registration
     plate was never reported as lost or stolen. Whenever the
     department reissues an inactive personal plate, the department
     may purge its records of all references to the previous owners
     of that personal plate. The department shall, however, note upon
     its records the reissuance of the personal plate and to whom the
     plate was issued. The special registration plate may be used
     only on a passenger car or truck with a registered gross weight
     of not more than 10,000 pounds. If the vehicle is licensed to a
     business that is not a member of the special group, the
     department shall issue the plate as long as the business owner
     or officer making application is a member of that group.
