Department of Motor Vehicles: license plate alternatives pilot program.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue license plates for vehicles, as specified, and authorizes the department to issue one or more stickers, tabs, or other suitable devices in lieu of the license plates, as specified. Existing law also authorizes the department to establish a pilot program, to be completed no later than January 1, 2017, to evaluate the use of alternatives to stickers, tabs, license plates, and registration cards, subject to certain requirements, and to report the results of the pilot program, as specified, to the Legislature no later than July 1, 2018. This bill would instead require the department to complete any pilot program established pursuant to those provisions no later than January 1, 2019, and to report the results of the pilot program to the Legislature by July 1, 2020.
