Requires one license plate instead of two on noncommercial motor vehicles licensed in the state

HB 2425 changes Missouri's license plate requirement for noncommercial vehicles, requiring only one plate instead of two beginning August 28, 2026. Owners of noncommercial vehicles with a front license plate as of that date must surrender it to the Department of Revenue. The bill specifies that one plate must be displayed on the rear of most vehicles (except commercial vehicles, which may request two plates with an additional fee). It also mandates that all plates include state name, "SHOW-ME STATE," expiration date, and reflective features for visibility. This policy affects all Missouri residents who register noncommercial vehicles under current law.
