      Sec. 2-50a. Motor vehicle number plates for legislators. The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall issue, in respect to not more than two motor vehicles owned or regularly used by each member of the General Assembly, on application by such member, on or before January fifteenth in the odd-numbered years, number plates bearing the assembly district number or the senatorial district number, as the case may be, of the member, and a distinguishing mark indicating his or her membership in either house of the General Assembly; and the commissioner shall issue a certificate of registration, as provided in section 14-12, in connection therewith. Such registration shall be valid, subject to renewal, as long as the member remains a member of the General Assembly, and thereafter the registration number and number plates, if any, which were assigned to such motor vehicle before a registration and number plates were issued under this section, shall be in effect. The provisions of this section shall apply to not more than two motor vehicles regularly used by a member who is the president or a vice president of a person, firm or corporation to which a license was issued in accordance with section 14-52, even if such member does not own a motor vehicle that is registered with the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles in accordance with section 14-12.
