1. That § 46.2-749.3 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 46.2-749.3. Special license plates for clean special fuel vehicles.

The owner of any pickup truck, panel truck, or motor vehicle designed and used for the transportation of passengers, except a motorcycle, which that may utilize clean special fuel may purchase special license plates indicating the motor vehicle utilizes clean special fuels. Upon receipt of an application, the Commissioner shall issue special license plates to the owners of such vehicles. Notwithstanding § 46.2-725, for license plates issued under this section prior to July 1, 1998, the Commissioner shall charge only the prescribed cost of state license plates, and no additional fee shall be charged.

For those motor vehicles required by law to display official government-use license plates, the Commissioner shall provide by regulation for the issuance, display, and fee for issuance of an alternative device indicating that the vehicle displaying the device is a clean special fuel vehicle. For the purposes of § 33.1-46.2, vehicles displaying such a device as provided in such regulation shall be treated as vehicles displaying special license plates issued under this section.
