What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issues two

registration plates for most motor vehicles. The owner of the motor vehicle must

display one plate on the front of the vehicle and one plate on the rear of the vehicle.

This bill directs DOT to issue only one registration plate for most motor

vehicles. With limited exceptions, the registration plate must be displayed on the

rear of the motor vehicle.

Under current law, moneys may not be transferred from the transportation

fund to any other fund.

The bill requires that, beginning in fiscal year 2012-13, the secretary of

administration transfer from the transportation fund to the general fund an amount

in each fiscal year equal to the savings realized in the change to a single registration

plate for motor vehicles.
