BOZEMAN – Montana motorists
might soon have fewer sponsored license plates to choose from to put on their
vehicles.
The state
Legislature in 2019 approved new rules to discontinue less popular specialized
plates. Right now, Montana offers 266 specialized plates. Proceeds
from the sale of specialized plates go to charity.
Starting in
2020, Montana will discontinue specialized plates chosen by fewer
than 400 drivers, the “Bozeman Daily Chronicle” reports.
One reason
for reducing plate designs is to make plates easier for law enforcement
officers to read, said Joann Loehr, vehicle services bureau chief at
the Montana Motor Vehicle Division.
Another
change to the law requires 75 percent of revenue from the plates to be spent
in Montana.
