Maine LD989 waives annual fees for vanity license plates displaying amateur radio call signs for license holders.

Maine LD989 exempts amateur radio license holders from paying annual administrative fees for vanity registration plates displaying their call signs. The bill requires these registrants to provide proof of a valid amateur radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission. The exemption will take effect during the next regular software update by the Secretary of State, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and will not become active until after the Legislature adjourns.
