Bill > SB69

This bill mandates that motor vehicles in New Mexico must display registration plates on both the front and rear, with specific exceptions for trailers, tractors, manufactured homes, motorcycles, and off-highway motor vehicles, which will only require a rear plate. The legislation amends existing laws to reflect this change, including provisions for issuing registration plates and validating stickers, and clarifies rules regarding the display and replacement of these plates. The bill also addresses special registration plates for certain officials and groups, ensuring that when ownership changes or eligibility is lost, the special plates are returned and replaced with regular ones. The changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
