Bill > SB325

This bill aims to prevent drivers from obscuring their license plates by amending existing Kansas laws. Specifically, it makes it illegal to attach or operate a vehicle with a license plate that is covered by any material, clear or opaque, or any plastic-like material that hinders its visibility or reflectivity, or to use frames or other objects that obstruct the plate's legibility. The bill also clarifies what "clearly legible" and "clearly visible" mean in this context, defining them as the ability to see the registration number, state of issue, and expiration month and color of any required decals from a safe distance, but not necessarily abbreviated state designations or expiration years on decals. Additionally, it reiterates the requirement for license plates to be securely fastened, at least 12 inches from the ground, clearly visible, and maintained in a legible condition, and repeals the old sections of law that are being replaced.
