GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
SESSION 1991

CHAPTER 947
SENATE BILL 369

AN ACT TO PROVIDE MULTIYEAR REGISTRATION PLATES FOR SEMITRAILERS.

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 semitrailer, the Division may issue a multiyear plate and registration card for the semitrailer for a fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00).  A multiyear plate and registration card for a semitrailer are valid until the owner transfers the semitrailer to another person or surrenders the plate and registration card to the Division.  A multiyear plate may not be transferred to another vehicle.
The Division shall issue a multiyear semitrailer plate in a different color than an annual semitrailer plate and shall include the word 'multiyear' on the plate.  The Division may not issue a multiyear plate for a house trailer."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 1993, and applies to trailers and semitrailers registered or reregistered on or after that date.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 14th day of July, 1992.
