appropriate replacement plate and replacement sticker fees
shall be assessed. In the event new plates are not required,

(d) In the event the owner of the vehicle desires to change
the registered weight and change the plate category, the owner
shall receive credit for the unused portion of the registration
fee of the current plate and pay the current portion of the

(e) Reclassing from one plate category to another plate
