Bill > HB4245

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to change how motor vehicle registration plates are issued and displayed. Beginning with the next registration year after the bill's effective date, the Secretary of State will issue only one registration plate instead of two for most motor vehicles, and this single plate will be attached only to the rear of the vehicle, rather than the previous requirement of having plates on both the front and rear. The bill specifically affects various types of motor vehicles, including passenger cars, motorcycles, trailers, and truck-tractors. Vehicles like motorcycles, trailers, and truck-tractors will continue to have specific placement rules for their single registration plate. The change aims to simplify vehicle registration processes and plate management, reducing the number of plates issued per vehicle while maintaining the ability to identify and track registered vehicles. The bill also updates related language throughout the Illinois Vehicle Code to reflect the transition to a single registration plate system, ensuring consistency in legal references to vehicle registration.
