What changed in the latest version
16 added · 19 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of SB 947 clarifies the application process for special license plates issued to volunteer emergency medical services agencies and their auxiliaries. It now specifies that only one application is needed from each agency, and it mandates that agencies must inform the Commissioner within 30 days if a member separates from the organization. This change simplifies the application process and ensures more accurate tracking of who holds these special plates, which is important for managing both the plates and the associated benefits for emergency services.
