Bill > SB13

This bill amends Virginia law to require only a single license plate to be displayed on registered motor vehicles, with the exception of tractor trucks which must continue to display a license plate on the front of the vehicle. Currently, most vehicles are required to display license plates on both the front and rear. The bill allows for the voluntary display of two valid license plates (front and rear) but removes the mandatory requirement for front license plates. The bill also makes several technical amendments to related sections of Virginia code regarding vehicle registration, taxation, and classification of motor vehicles. Courts would retain discretion to dismiss summonses for license plate violations if compliance is demonstrated before the court date. The changes aim to simplify vehicle registration requirements and potentially reduce costs associated with producing and maintaining two license plates per vehicle.
