(2) Repealed by Laws 2022, Ch. 378 (S.B. 22-217), § 11, Aug. 10, 2022.

(2.5) The Colorado disability funding committee is responsible for the costs of designing the previously retired license plate styles and shall pay such costs before the license plates are produced. The design for the previously retired license plate styles shall conform with standards established by the department. After January 1, 2028, the department may stop producing plates in a previously retired style if the department determines that demand for that style, including willingness to pay an additional fee that fully defrays the costs of producing the license plates in the style, is not sufficiently high to justify production of the license plates.

(3) An applicant may apply for personalized license plates in a previously retired style if the department offers such plates for purchase. If the applicant complies with section 42-3-211, the department may issue such plates upon payment of the additional fee required by section 42-3-211(6) for personalized license plates. If the applicant has existing personalized license plates for a motor vehicle, the applicant may transfer the combination of letters or numbers to a new set of license plates in a previously retired style for the vehicle upon paying the fee imposed by section 42-3-211(6)(a) and upon turning in such existing plates to the department as required by the department. A person who has obtained personalized license plates in a previously retired style under this subsection (3) shall pay the annual fee imposed by section 42-3-211(6)(b) to renew such plates. The fees imposed by this subsection (3) are in addition to all other taxes and fees imposed for license plates in a previously retired style.

(4) Repealed by Laws 2022, Ch. 378 (S.B. 22-217), § 11, Aug. 10, 2022.

(5) All applications for license plates in a previously retired style must be made directly to the department.

(6) The executive director of the department may prepare any special forms and promulgate any rules necessary to implement this section.

(7) On or before January 1, 2027, if an applicant for a retired license plate that was issued pursuant to this section demonstrates a physical impairment that affects the applicant's mobility under the standards described in section 42-3-204(1)(a), the department shall issue the previously retired license plate to the applicant with an identifying figure as defined in section 42-3-204(1)(e) to indicate that the vehicle is authorized to transport an individual who is eligible to use reserved parking pursuant to section 42-4-1208.
