Bill > HB218

This bill modifies Missouri's vehicle registration and license plate regulations, specifically addressing license plate covers. The bill requires that any license plate cover must be transparent and non-tinted, ensuring that the entire license plate remains clearly visible and maintains its reflective qualities. Under the new provision, vehicle owners can still use a cover for their license plate, but the cover must be completely clear, allowing law enforcement and other officials to easily read the plate's numbers, letters, and other identifying information. This change is part of the existing state law governing vehicle registration, and it applies to all motor vehicles and trailers registered in Missouri. The goal of this requirement is to prevent any obstruction or interference with license plate visibility, which could potentially impede identification or enforcement efforts. The bill maintains other existing requirements for license plate placement, such as the height and orientation of plates on different types of vehicles, while introducing this new specification about plate covers.
