Special license plates for people with disabilities

If you have a disability and apply, the state must give you special license plates for a vehicle registered in your name, as long as the vehicle is mainly used to transport you. The fee for these plates cannot be more than the fee for regular plates on the same type of vehicle.

The statute, as written — Special license plates

Upon application by a person with a disability, the issuing agency shall issue special license plates for the vehicle registered in the applicant's name if the vehicle is primarily used to transport that person. The fee for the issuance of special license plates shall not exceed the fee charged for similar license plates for the same class vehicle.
