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

HB 2589 requires owners of noncommercial motor vehicles registered in Missouri to display only one license plate instead of two starting August 28, 2026. Specifically, owners with a front license plate on that date must surrender it to the Missouri Department of Revenue within 90 days. The bill affects all noncommercial vehicle owners by changing the standard plate requirement from dual plates to a single plate, aligning with existing rules for commercial vehicles. It does not alter registration fees or other vehicle-specific requirements. This change applies only to noncommercial vehicles, excluding commercial motor vehicles, which continue to follow separate plate regulations.
