HB 2914 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizing municipal fire departments specialized license plates

HB 2914 authorizes municipal fire departments in West Virginia to use specialized license plates on their vehicles. The bill specifies that these plates must feature blue lettering on a white background with "West Virginia" displayed on top, along with a fire department insignia to clearly identify the vehicle as belonging to a municipal fire department. This change modifies existing vehicle registration rules to add fire departments to the list of entities eligible for distinctive plates, similar to those already provided for law enforcement and county vehicles. The plates must be reflective and affixed to both the front and rear of fire department vehicles, following the design standards set by the Motor Vehicle Commissioner. This is a procedural update to license plate regulations, not a new funding or policy measure.
