Special License Plate After Revocation.

HB 853 requires individuals whose driver's licenses were revoked to display a special, differently colored license plate on all vehicles they operate after their license is restored. This applies to people with restored licenses following revocation (for seven years if also subject to other restrictions, or three years otherwise) and those granted limited driving privileges. The special plate must be a distinct, easily identifiable color, with a $10 annual fee added to registration, and drivers cannot obscure it. Violating this requirement results in an additional one-year license revocation. The bill directly affects individuals with restored licenses or limited driving privileges in North Carolina.
