HB 567 Maryland House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Motor Vehicle Laws - Registration Plates - Single Registration Plate

HB 567 changes Maryland's vehicle registration rules by requiring a single license plate for all standard vehicles (passenger, truck, and multipurpose) instead of the current two-plate requirement. This applies to most vehicles, except motorcycles, tractors, trailers, historic vehicles (50+ years old), and street rods (50+ years old), which already use single plates. The bill updates attachment rules: tractors must display the plate on the front, while all other single-plate vehicles must show it on the rear. It does not alter registration fees, special plate options, or county sticker requirements, focusing solely on simplifying plate issuance and mounting.
