Section 5004.5 Of Article 8. Special Plates From California Vehicle Code >> Division 3. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 8.
5004.5
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, any owner
of a motorcycle manufactured in the year 1942 or prior thereto
shall, upon application in the manner and at the time prescribed by
the department, be issued special license plates for the motorcycle.
The special license plates assigned to such motorcycles shall run in
a separate numerical series. An additional fee of fifteen dollars
($15) shall be charged for the initial issuance of the special
license plates. Such plates shall be permanent and shall not be
required to be replaced. If such special license plates become
damaged or unserviceable in any manner, replacement for the plates
may be obtained from the department upon proper application and upon
payment of such fee as is provided for in Section 9265. Except as
otherwise provided in this section, such motorcycles shall be subject
to the same annual registration fees and provisions of law as are
other motorcycles.
All revenues derived from the fees provided for in this section
above actual costs of the production and issuance of the special
plates for motorcycles, or the replacement thereof, shall be
deposited in the California Environmental License Plate Fund by the
department.
