A House committee voted to give a do-pass recommendation to a bill authorizing a motorcycle-sized version of the existing "Look Twice for Motorcycles" specialty license plate.

Representative (presenter) told the committee the measure is limited in scope: it would allow the already-adopted design to be produced in the smaller size that motorcycle owners prefer. "All this bill is doing is allowing for this plate to be designed and sold at this size," the presenter said, noting the 2023 legislation authorized the design but did not include a motorcycle-sized plate.

During the hearing Representative Brown recounted a local fatal motorcycle crash and described why the "look twice" message matters, telling the committee the effort was personally important to families affected by motorcycle crashes. Other legislators and a representative of the motorcycle community supported the measure; no public opposition was recorded.

Committee leader Armstrong moved the bill; Ranking Member Brown seconded. The committee recorded a unanimous roll call in favor and reported a 10-0 do-pass recommendation.

The sponsor said the motorcycle community helped design the plate and that the bill responds to that community’s request for an appropriately sized, state-issued plate. No amendments were offered at the hearing.
