What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation issues two registration plates for most motor vehicles. The owner of the motor vehicle must display one registration plate on the front of the vehicle and one registration plate on the rear of the vehicle. If only one registration plate is issued for a vehicle, current law generally requires that the registration plate be displayed on the rear of the vehicle.
This bill allows the owner of a motor vehicle to display only one registration plate, to the rear of the vehicle, if the vehicle was originally manufactured without a bracket for displaying the plate on the front of the vehicle or if the vehicle will display collector's special interest vehicle registration plates.
