Requires one license plate instead of two on noncommercial motor vehicles licensed in the state
AI Summary
This bill mandates that noncommercial motor vehicles licensed in the state will only require one license plate instead of the current two, with this change taking effect on August 28, 2026. For vehicles that already have a front license plate on that date, owners will need to surrender it to the Department of Revenue. The bill also clarifies that this change applies to regular, personalized, and special license plates, with some exceptions for specific commercial vehicles. The Director of Revenue will determine the design and characteristics of the single license plate, ensuring it is clearly identifiable and meets visibility and aesthetic standards.
