A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE SEMIPERMANENT REGISTRATION PLATES FOR MEMBERS OF VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND RESCUE SQUADS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-81.7(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Every owner of a private passenger motor vehicle or pickup truck not exceeding a gross weight of 4,000 pounds, who is an active, regular, or volunteer member of a fire department or rescue squad, upon payment of registration and licensing fees for such vehicle as required by law and an additional fee of ten dollars ($10.00), shall be issued license plates of the same form and character as other license plates now or hereinafter authorized by law to be issued upon such vehicles except that such license plates shall in addition bear on the face thereof the following words: either ‘fireman', ‘rescue squad' or ‘fireman-rescue squad.'  Special registration plates issued pursuant to this section shall be valid for five years and shall be renewed through the use of annual renewal stickers in the same manner as regular registration plates are renewed without the payment of any annual fee for the specialized plate.  When the holder of a special registration plate issued pursuant to this section becomes ineligible for it he shall exchange the plate for a regular plate within 30 days."
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
