AI Summary
This bill eliminates the requirement for and issuance of registration decals, which are small stickers that display the expiration month and year of a vehicle's registration and are typically affixed to license plates. It also removes the Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) obligation to provide specific license plates for rental vehicles, though it clarifies that vehicles must still be registered. The bill makes numerous amendments to various sections of the Code of Virginia, primarily to remove references to "decals" in relation to license plates and registration.
