The fee for the flying colors plate is $35 and an additional $25 fee for personalized plates.

SSB 3101 – Rumble Strips on Certain Highways

SSB 3101 requires any governmental entity to construct and maintain a series of rough-textured, slightly raised or depressed grooves (rumble strips) along the surface of a roadway. The rumble strips are required in advance of all stop signs located on a highway where the highway enters or crosses a primary highway. They are not required on unpaved highways or highways inside the limits of any incorporated city, or highways with a speed limit of less than 55 miles per hour. The bill strikes Section 25B.2, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding the cost is not provided or specified.
