The bill would also provide that governmental and volunteer fire department license plates may be transferred to another vehicle upon certain conditions being met and provides for the replacement of license plates provided for in this act and establishes the replacement fee. All fees associated with governmental and volunteer fire department license plates would be retained by the Department of Revenue to cover the costs to administer the law.
