%&*@! Maine bans vulgar vanity license plates
Fox News
A ban on vulgar vanity plates has gone into effect in Main, but it will be a while before existing plates can be recalled.
Now, rule-making is getting underway to ensure the law protects First Amendment rights while getting rid of obscene language.
The process, which includes public comment, could take between two to four months, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said.
Requests for so-called vanity license plates that are deemed to be potentially offensive will be on hold in the meantime. Eventually, the state will begin recalling previously issued plates, likely this winter.
