Stamped aluminum license plates may be getting more futuristic competition under a bill that recently passed the Colorado House of Representatives.
Exum, D-Colorado Springs, spearheaded the effort. While he initially chalked up new plates as vanity displays – they can cost $1,000 or more – he became convinced of their merits, particularly for large fleets where operators need to mass update registrations and be able to clearly mark if a vehicle is idle, in use or unavailable. They would not be available for things like flashing advertisements.
“Frankly, it’s just one more option for consumers,” Van Winkle said. “If they want to do it, they can. If they don’t want to do it, then no worries whatsoever.”
