Permanent Plates for Water and Sewer Authority.

SB 308 authorizes water and sewer authorities created under North Carolina's Chapter 162A to receive permanent license plates for their vehicles. This bill amends state law to explicitly include these authorities in the list of entities eligible for permanent plates, which typically avoid annual registration fees. The change directly affects local water and sewer authorities that operate municipal vehicles. It makes no other policy changes and simply updates the eligibility criteria for permanent plates under existing law.
