To me this is at best disengenous as those, like my Father in good faith followed the law and paid for these with the understanding that was the law. Now, our legislators are attempting to change the law. There is no "Grandfather" clause as written for those who have already purchased permanent plates. You can easily research the language of the proposed bill by researching HB #2373. I voiced my opinion to my Legislator. The language as I recall is new provision #7. I encourage you to read this. It may be too late.
