What’s in it
AI summary County treasurers will no longer be required to print the county name on license plates for people registering vehicles in a neighboring county. This change allows drivers to use license plate frames without worrying about covering up a county name.1
Read the official explanation
34, with limited exceptions. Generally, a person must register a vehicle in the person's county of residence. However, because the department of transportation did not implement a program for electronic applications, titling, registering, and funds transfers for vehicles by July 1, 2019, a person may register a vehicle in a contiguous county.166. Under current law, it is unlawful for the owner of a vehicle to place any frame around or over the registration plate which does not permit full view of all numerals and letters printed on the registration plate, including the county name. A violation of this provision is a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $30.
