Authorizing municipal fire departments specialized license plates

HB 5139 authorizes municipal fire departments in West Virginia to use specialized license plates. The bill amends existing law to require these plates to feature blue lettering on a white background with "West Virginia" on top and a fire department insignia, using reflectorized material (as specified in §17A-3-23(d)(2)). This directly affects municipal fire departments by providing a distinct plate design to identify their vehicles, separate from law enforcement or other government vehicle plates. The policy change is limited to the plate design and identification requirements, with no new fees or funding specified.
