Bill Summary
Under current law, two registration plates are issued for a motor vehicle other than an autocycle, motorcycle, motorized bicycle, or truck tractor, and are required to be attached to the front and rear of the vehicle. This bill provides that only one registration plate must be issued for a motor vehicle. The registration plate must be attached to the rear of the motor vehicle, except that the registration plate for a truck tractor must be attached to the front of the truck tractor, in accord with current law. The bill also makes corresponding changes, directs the Code editor to make necessary changes, and provides for the transition from the use of two registration plates to the use of one registration plate. A person who was issued two registration plates is authorized to attach only one plate, in accordance with the bill, on and after the effective date of the bill, and must transfer or return both plates if a transfer or return is required.
AI Summary
This Study Bill proposes a significant change to motor vehicle registration by requiring only one registration plate for most vehicles, instead of the current two, with the single plate to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle, except for truck tractors which will continue to display their plate on the front. The bill outlines the necessary amendments to existing laws regarding the issuance and display of these plates, including provisions for school buses, urban transit companies, and the handling of registration renewals and transfers. It also addresses the transition period, allowing individuals who were issued two plates to use only one after the bill's effective date, and directs the Code editor to make conforming changes to ensure all references to "plates" (plural) are updated to "plate" (singular) where appropriate.
