A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE MULTIYEAR REGISTRATION PLATES FOR TRAILERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 20-88(c) reads as rewritten:
	"(c) There shall be paid to the Division annually, as of the first day of January, for the registration and licensing of trailers or semitrailers, ten dollars ($10.00) for any part of the license year for which said license is issued.  Upon the application of the owner of a trailer or semitrailer, the Division may issue a plate and registration card that is valid for the duration of the vehicle owner's interest in the vehicle for a fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00).  Upon the application of the owner of an animal, camping, boat, or other utility trailer to be towed by a private hauler vehicle whose GVWR is 4500 pounds or less or a private passenger vehicle, the Division may issue a plate and registration card that is valid for the duration of the owner's interest in the trailer for a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00).  Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 20-64, the multiyear registration cards and plates are not transferable to another owner or lessee for any reason and shall be surrendered to the Division when the vehicle is transferred, sold, or leased.  The multiyear plate shall be of a different color than the annual plate and shall bear thereon the word ‘multiyear'."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 1992, and applies to trailers, semitrailers, and utility trailers registered or reregistered on or after that date.
