PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A dozen bills have been introduced in the legislature regulating license plates, including offering more specialty plates.
The Providence Journal reports that one bill proposes to cut the number of plates for each vehicle from two to one. Another would allow vehicles heavier than 9,000 pounds to order vanity plates.
Rep. Joseph Solomon, D-Warwick, plans to introduce a bill memorializing what he calls “the Coney Island of Rhode Island.” He said it’s to honor the nonprofit Rocky Point Foundation Inc., which works to preserve the land where the Warwick amusement park once stood, and provide some financial help.
The plates would cost $40, with $20 going to the state’s general fund and the other $20 going to the Rocky Point Foundation.
