Motor Vehicle License Plate Mounting Requirements

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 18-028 changes how front license plates must be mounted on vehicles. Instead of requiring them to be centered and at least 12 inches from the ground, the bill now says that front license plates should be placed horizontally in the spot recommended by the car’s manufacturer. This affects all drivers who need to mount a front license plate on their vehicle. Since the status is "signed," this means the bill has been approved and signed into law, so these new rules are now in effect.

Official Summary

Current law requires each license plate to be at the approximate center of a motor vehicle and at least 12 inches from the ground. The bill repeals this requirement for the front license plate and replaces it with a requirement that the front license plate be mounted horizontally on the front in the location designated by the manufacturer. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
