Bill Summary
Under current law, two registration plates are issued for a motor vehicle other than an autocycle, motorcycle, motorized bicycle, or truck tractor, and are required to be attached to the front and rear of the vehicle. This bill provides that only one registration plate must be issued for a motor vehicle. The registration plate must be attached to the rear of the motor vehicle, except that the registration plate for a truck tractor must be attached to the front of the truck tractor, in accordance with current law. The bill also makes corresponding changes, directs the Code editor to make necessary changes, and provides for the transition from the use of two registration plates to the use of one registration plate. A person who was issued two registration plates is authorized to attach only one plate, in accordance with the bill, on and after July 1, 2026, and must transfer or return both plates if a transfer or return is required.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to change the law so that most motor vehicles will only be issued one registration plate instead of two, with the single plate to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle, except for truck tractors which will continue to display their single plate on the front. The bill also makes conforming changes to various sections of existing law to reflect this shift to a single registration plate, and directs the Code editor to make any necessary corrections to ensure consistency throughout the legal code. Furthermore, it outlines a transition plan, allowing individuals who were issued two plates to use only one starting July 1, 2026, and requiring them to transfer or return both plates if such an action is necessary.
