SB 183 - This act requires temporary registration tags to incorporate a security measure to prevent tampering. The act also requires dealers, beginning January 1, 2004, to notify the Department of Revenue (DOR) by electronic means when it issues a temporary permit. This measure would allow DOR to monitor those who fail to register the vehicle after the 30 day period.
The act also makes it a Class C misdemeanor for any person
who alters, counterfeits or misuses a temporary permit to avoid
registering a motor vehicle. The person would also have his or
her driver's license suspended for a period of sixty days.
