AN ACT INCREASING THE PENALTY FOR THE FAILURE TO DISPLAY MOTOR VEHICLE NUMBER PLATES AND STICKERS.

HB 5720 increases penalties for drivers who fail to display their vehicle's required number plates and registration stickers. It directly affects vehicle owners who do not comply with current plate-display requirements. The bill amends Section 14-18 of the general statutes to raise the financial penalty for this violation. The stated purpose is to ensure vehicles remain identifiable to law enforcement for safety and enforcement purposes. This is a straightforward policy change to strengthen existing traffic safety enforcement.
