Summary

The bill amends Alabama law to require that all standard motor‑vehicle license plate designs remain valid for at least ten years instead of the current five‑year minimum. It does not change the rules for permanent plates or for special‑issue plates, but it gives the Commissioner of Revenue authority to allow longer periods when appropriate. The change aims to reduce the frequency of plate redesigns and associated administrative work.
