Bill > HB1732

This bill modifies Missouri's existing laws regarding license plate requirements and restrictions, focusing primarily on how license plates can be covered. Specifically, the bill allows license plate covers only if they are transparent and nontinted, and ensures that the entire plate remains fully visible to both the naked eye and law enforcement image capture technology. The bill also prohibits license plate frames from covering or obscuring any information that might be necessary for law enforcement purposes. The legislation maintains existing requirements about how license plates must be mounted on different types of vehicles (such as height and positioning), and reinforces that plates must be securely fastened, plainly visible, and reasonably clean so that their reflective qualities are not impaired. By implementing these provisions, the bill aims to ensure that license plates remain legible and functional for identification and registration purposes while providing some flexibility for protective covers.
