   SB 1156, as introduced, Cedillo. Vehicles: environmental license
plates.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue
special distinctive motor vehicle license plates, including, not
limited to, the environmental license plates. Existing law requires,
among other things, that the environmental license plates be the same
color as regular passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, motorcycle,
or trailer license plates.
   This bill would instead require that the environmental license
plates be the color green.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

green and shall  be the same  color and  design
as regular passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, motorcycle, or
trailer license plates, and shall consist of any combination of
numbers or letters, not exceeding seven positions and not less than
two positions, if there are no conflicts with existing passenger,
commercial, trailer, motorcycle, or special license plates series or
with Section 4851.
