Bill > SB1061

This bill discontinues the requirement for and issuance of registration decals on license plates in Virginia. Currently, vehicle registration decals display the expiration month and year of registration and are attached to license plates. The bill removes language throughout the Virginia Code that references these decals, effectively eliminating the need to display them on license plates. Additionally, the bill allows the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles to use alternative decal or license plate designs during the transition away from the current decal system. The bill does not change existing requirements for vehicle registration itself, meaning vehicle owners will still need to register their vehicles and pay associated fees. The change is primarily administrative, simplifying the registration process by removing the need to affix and replace decals annually. The bill applies to various types of vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, trailers, and special vehicle classifications.
