A bill would restrict specialty license plate designs.
Rep. Lucy Allen, a Louisburg Democrat, said she filed the bill to help police and State Highway Patrol officers identify North Carolina plates.
"We now have at least 150 specialty plates, and more are coming along this session," she said. "Some of them are hard to identify."
Allen's bill would still allow state-issued plates to feature causes such as the Appalachian Trail or the Blue Ridge Parkway, but it would require them to have a standard "First in Flight" background.
She said the problem of reading state specialty plates has come up often in the House Transportation Committee.
Still, Allen said the bill has nothing to do with perennial fight over "Choose Life" plates or other hot-button issues.
"I have voted for every (specialty plate) that I've had a chance to vote for," she said.

Re: Bill would restrict license plate designs
Doesn't the Representative have enough to worry about. Pass the choose life plate and be done with it. I personally like the Pellitier surfer foundation plate b/c it's a four color design and does NOT have the Wright Brothers plane on it. Some people want other things.
Get real, do the real work, or the people of your district will send you HOME!
