Requires MVC to issue one license plate instead of two.
S 160 requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to issue only one license plate per vehicle for most cars and motorcycles, replacing the current requirement of two plates (front and rear). It directly affects all New Jersey vehicle owners who register cars or motorcycles, allowing those currently issued two plates to return one to the MVC and display a single plate on the rear. The bill amends existing law to remove the front plate requirement and specifies that the single plate must be clearly visible on the rear, while maintaining current visibility rules. This change applies to new registrations and existing owners who return a second plate under the transition provision.
