SB 3120 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

This bill would change the registration schedule for commercial vehicles from an annual requirement to a biennial one, meaning these vehicles would need to be registered every two years instead of every year. The change applies specifically to commercial vehicles and would be implemented through rules set by the state's Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles. The bill also clarifies how combination plates work for certain commercial vehicles that may be used for both business and personal purposes. This adjustment aims to reduce the administrative burden on commercial vehicle owners while maintaining the state's vehicle registration system.
