  • The department or tax collector is prohibited from charging a fee for reissuance of a certificate of title that was lost in transit within 180 days of original issuance
  • Rental trucks are authorized for permanent registration alongside rental vehicles, and the department may issue license plates with reduced dimensions to accommodate trailers in addition to motorcycles and mopeds
  • Disabled veterans with 100% service-connected disability may choose a military or specialty license plate in lieu of the "DV" plate, but must pay applicable plate-specific fees and do not receive disabled parking protections or the international accessibility symbol with the alternative plate
