Sen. Scott Sandall (R)

SB 85 (License Plate Position Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill makes the failure to have a front license plate a primary offense, allowing law enforcement to pull you over and give you a ticket.

Libertas opposes this bill. We favor legislation that repeals the requirement to have a front license plate, as one is sufficient for identification by law enforcement. Further, the widespread non-compliance with the current law gives far too broad of discretion to the government to begin enforcing this as a primary offense to pull people over and potentially cause other altercations.
