County Clerk Bill Knowles announced that in July, 685 ‘In God We Trust” license plates were issued to local motorists. A new Tennessee law was enacted making this option available.
Mr. Knowles said, The law regulating the new ‘In God We Trust’ plate calls for a one-time $2.00 fee to swap an existing plate prior to the plate expiration date plus the normal $2.50 registration fee.
“The $2.00 special fee is a one-time charge for swapping, renewing a current registration, or making application for a vehicle title.
“Once the $2.00 fee is paid a motorist may renew the special registration at the standard $29 registration fee stipulated in the IMPROVE ACT signed into law by Governor Haslam. The new plate does not require higher fees as do other specialty plates”.
