Senate panel clears bill to raise cost of vanity license plates
January 30, 2009 | Virginia News
The cost of getting a vanity license plate in Virginia could double under a bill cleared yesterday by the Senate Transportation Committee.
Senate Bill 1167, sponsored by Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan, would give the Department of Motor Vehicles the authority to charge motorists up to $20 a year to maintain or purchase personalized license plates. The current fee for such plates is $10.
Additionally, two bills that dramatically increase the requirements of seat-belt usage and the ability to enforce violations of the law cleared the committee.
