Utah lawmakers want to know how 'deport' license plate got OK'd
While people have the right to freedom of speech, the messages that appear on license plates are different because they must be approved by the state, said Republican Sen. Daniel Thatcher.
Lawmakers are expected to question the director of the Division of Motor Vehicles and his boss, the state tax commission director, at a hearing on Wednesday.It comes after a picture of the plate gained attention online last week. Salt Lake City English teacher Matt Pacenza spotted it during his drive, snapped a picture and put it on Twitter and Facebook.
The state gets about 450 requests a month for vanity plates, and also bars messages that are vulgar, reference drugs or sex acts, or suggest something dangerous. It has denied messages ranging from “STRIPPN” to “REDWINE” to “JEWELZZ,” according to a list provided to the Associated Press.
