provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.

semitrailers, motor-driven cycles, and pole and pipe dollies, and
 such   those  vehicles as are exempt from
the payment of registration fees under this code shall display
suitable distinguishing marks or symbols, and the registration
numbers assigned to each class of vehicles shall run in a separate
numerical series, except that registration numbers assigned to
vehicles exempt from the payment of registration fees may run in
several separate numerical series.
   (b) Vehicles subject to Sections 9400 and 9400.1 shall be issued
