government. (1) Applications for registration of motor vehicles leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, or board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated
by nonprofit corporations organized by units of government in the state or by the
state or federal government shall be accompanied by a statement from the head of
the department of the governmental unit that leases or owns the motor vehicle,
certifying that the motor vehicle is leased or owned and operated by the
governmental unit. The application and statement shall be forwarded by the county
clerk to the cabinet, which shall give special authority to the clerk to register it.
Upon receiving that authority, the clerk shall issue a registration receipt and the
official number plate described in KRS 186.240(1)(c), and report the registration to
the head of the department authorizing the registration. For his services in issuing
such certificate of registration and number plate and reporting the same, the county
clerk shall be entitled to a fee of three dollars ($3) in each instance, to be paid by the
department upon whose authorization such license was issued. (2) After such registration of any vehicle leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, or board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated by
nonprofit corporations organized by units of government in the state, or by the state
or federal government and after issuance of such number plate for such vehicle so
leased or owned, no subsequent registration or renewal of same, and no subsequent
renewal of a number plate of the vehicle shall be necessary so long as the vehicle is
leased or owned by the governmental unit except in the case of loss or destruction
of the license plate. In the event of loss or destruction, the number plate shall be
replaced in the same manner as if no plate had ever been issued. (3) When a motor vehicle leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, or board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated by nonprofit corporations
organized by units of government in the state, or by the state or federal government
is transferred or sold to another governmental unit, a new license plate shall be
issued for the vehicle in the same manner as provided for in subsection (1) of this
section and shall have the same effect as given to such license plates in subsection
(2) of this section. (4) No person shall use on a motor vehicle, not leased or owned by a county, city, urban-county, board of education, or emergency and ambulance vehicles operated
by nonprofit corporations organized by units of government in the state, or the state
or federal government, any license plate that has been issued for use on a motor
vehicle leased or owned by the governmental unit. Effective: July 15, 1996
