Title

Motor vehicles, license plates, county licensing official contract with a third party with county commission approval for print-on-demand validation decals, Sec. 32-6-64.2 added.

Summary

HB91 allows Alabama county licensing officials to contract with a third party, with county commission approval, to supply print-on-demand validation decals, emblems, and registration receipt forms instead of relying solely on state agencies.

What This Bill Does

The bill lets a county licensing official contract with a third party to provide print-on-demand validation decals, emblems, and registration receipt forms, subject to county commission approval. The Department of Revenue must review and approve the materials to ensure statewide uniformity. It also protects funding by stating that amounts distributed to the Department of Corrections cannot be reduced by these contracts and that the contracts must follow county procurement rules; the Department of Revenue may adopt rules to implement the program. The contracts do not apply to registrations issued under Title 33, Chapter 5, and the act becomes effective immediately after the governor signs it.
