House will consider a special MV plate for those with MV's. It will probably pass, but they need at least 300 to be sold before they will consider this. It is suppose to cover any MV and MV trailer, regardless of weight and axles, as long as it is not in commercial use. If I hear anymore info, I will pass it along.

Any idea what these specialty plates will look like?

More to the point - how much extra will they cost! Not exactly as beneficial as taxes on legalised weed, but they won't miss an opportunity that's for sure.
As far as "look like" - perhaps they should get those "that have" to come up with designs to get voted on....
Probably be something covered in memorial - emblem -veteran type graphics. But I think a really plain one (low'er viz) that resembles the standard military number would look less incongruous/more in keeping - not even an outlined border.

I know we will be trying to pass some MV friendly legislation in the coming months in Arkansas. I was attempting to have a speciality plate for us but the possibility of our Dept. of Finance balking because of the cost is what was stopping me. Since you have started this thread, I am curious to see if we could get ours to work if we had a possible number figure. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
The NC specialize tags usually run an extra $10 plus normal fee to register a vehicle. This is all in the early stages and we will see how this turns out.
Haven't heard anything about design, but was told if anyone had an idea to roughdraft something and send it in to your rep in Raleigh.

Something similar, if not identical to, Wisconsin's design would work just fine if ya ask me: http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers/vehicles/personal/special/histmilitary.htm

Wisconsin have some funny ideas of what a collectors military vehicle is.... Extract from http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/drivers...stmilitary.htm .... { Note: There are four former military vehicles that may also be registered as a Collector vehicle. These are the Pinzgauer, Kaiser Jeep M-715, military HUMVEE and GMC DUKW truck models. The owner may choose to register these models as either a Collector (COL) or as a HMV. Different fees and rules apply to these four models only. }I agree with the DUKW, but really - if you are going to single out just four or even any military vehicle as collectable, their ideas are a little skew! No offence intended to owners of the other types - mine are pretty plain Jane too, it's just that the choise is vast and their picks must be- shall we say 'steered' by pork belly lobyists!

Hope it all goes smoothly but be ever vigilant. Keep a very weary eye towards any new possible restrictions that might come with a special tag.

Just to add to the discussion, Georgia offers many Military related license plates. Most with no additional charges. All you need is copy of DD214 and fill out a simple form. To register my deuce and Desert Storm Tag was $12.00. Older year models only require a bill of sale, no title needed. http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/motor/plates/platesamples.aspx

In Colorado, we put our efforts into not being required to display a tag. We still register and insure, and are required to have the plate in our posession, but displaying is optional.

beware.i am glad they are considering it.however in this state there are always loopholes.i have 35 years of experience dealing with auto auctions and the like.nc is a tax heavy ,fee laden state that is increasingly hard to do business in.sc and tn are far better.even va is better.millions of manafacturing jobs have left here.this place doesnt seem to want things to become better.its tax and spend.

Texas is another state that allows FMV's to operate under a NO TAG option. See this thread for more info about Texas' FMV Laws:
