Go get vanity plates (plate) issued on Sept 1.

Of course you could be in California where I think a fairly new Vette would be in the hundreds yearly

A person may operate
on a public highway a vehicle that displays two license plates if
both plates were assigned by the department for the registration
period as a set of plates.

Anyone know a good way of tracking the progress of this bill. I've been studying the original draft. Sounds like some changes have been made. Hope it doesn't get changed out of existence.

I just got this..
Yes, the law requires that you display one to the front and one to the rear.

However if you note in the bill,, if 1 plate is issued it must be on the rear,, if 2 were issued you must use both. I don't know how someone would know 2 plates were issued unless registration indicates it. Otherwise the bill indicated 9/1/05. Search of current DMV law changes did not show this bill was approved or in place. That doesn't mean it won't,, but as of 5/27,, it doesn't show up.
Glad I live in La and don't need the front plate. The C6 is
with the front plate. 99 Nassau Blue

Sorry guys, but the Senate took this provision out of the bill. It has gone back to the House and they did not accept the Senates amendments. So now it is on to a conference committee.
Contact your Senators and Representatives and ask them to put the provision back in the bill. Still not too late but we only have this weekend. They shut down the show on Monday.
