ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Transportation assume the proposal would not administratively or fiscally impact their agency.
Officials from the Department of Revenue assume the proposal would not administratively or fiscally impact their agency. They stated it is their understanding the federal government does not currently issue any disabled license plates or placards. In addition, they said there is already statutory authority for their department to reciprocally recognize handicapped plates and placards from other states. Finally, they stated if it is the intention for the federal government to mandate uniformity or reciprocity, then that may trigger legal arguments regarding unfunded mandates and constitutional violations of the federal government infringing on issues left to the states.
