Washington § 46.18.005 - Intent.

Full text of Washington Revised Code of Washington § 46.18.005 — Intent., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 46.18.005. Intent.

The legislature has seen an increase in the demand from constituent groups seeking recognition and funding through the establishment of commemorative or special license plates. The high cost of implementing a new special license plate series coupled with the uncertainty of the state's ability to recoup its costs has led the legislature to delay the implementation of new special license plates. In order to address these issues, it is the intent of the legislature to create a mechanism that will allow for the evaluation of special license plate requests and establish a funding policy that will alleviate the financial burden currently placed on the state. Using these two strategies, the legislature will be better equipped to efficiently process special license plate legislation.
[ 2010 c 161 s 601; 2003 c 196 s 1. Formerly RCW 46.16.700.]
