Bill > HB1494

This bill eliminates the requirement for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to issue registration renewal stickers for motor vehicles, effective January 1, 2026. The legislation modifies several sections of Indiana law related to vehicle registration, removing references to renewal stickers and updating the definition of "proof of registration" to no longer include these stickers. Specifically, the bill changes what constitutes proof of registration to now only include license plates, certificates of registration, and other registration indications issued by the bureau or motor carrier services division. The bill also updates provisions about license plate display, removing the requirement to affix renewal stickers in the upper right corner of license plates after December 31, 2025. This change means vehicle owners will no longer need to place renewal stickers on their license plates, potentially simplifying the vehicle registration process and reducing administrative work for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
