Bill > HB1035

This bill modifies Missouri's existing laws regarding license plate regulations by introducing new restrictions on license plate covers. Specifically, the bill requires that license plate covers be transparent and nontinted, ensuring that the entire license plate remains fully visible to both the naked eye and law enforcement image capture technology. The bill stipulates that license plate frames cannot obscure any information necessary for law enforcement purposes. The legislation maintains existing requirements that license plates must be securely fastened to vehicles, plainly visible, and reasonably clean, with their reflective qualities preserved. These changes aim to ensure that license plates remain clearly legible and functional, which can aid law enforcement in vehicle identification and tracking. The bill applies to various types of vehicles, including passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles registered in Missouri, and provides guidelines for how and where license plates should be mounted on different vehicle types.
