Bill > HB2504

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to prohibit the purchase, possession, manufacture, sale, or distribution of "license plate flippers," which are manual, electronic, or mechanical devices designed to either alternate between multiple license plates or hide a license plate from view. Under the new provisions, purchasing or possessing a license plate flipper would be classified as a Class B misdemeanor and result in automatic suspension of the person's vehicle registration, while manufacturing, selling, offering to sell, or distributing such a device would be considered a Class A misdemeanor, also resulting in automatic vehicle registration suspension. The bill aims to prevent individuals from using these devices to obscure or change license plates, which could potentially be used to avoid law enforcement detection, evade tolls, or commit other illegal activities. By creating clear legal prohibitions and penalties, the legislation seeks to deter the use of license plate manipulation technologies and maintain the integrity of vehicle registration and identification systems.
