Specifies that license plate covers must be transparent and non-tinted
HB 218 requires that all license plate covers in Missouri must be transparent and non-tinted to ensure the plate remains plainly visible and maintains its reflective properties at night. This rule directly affects every vehicle owner in the state who uses a cover on their license plate. The bill amends existing vehicle registration law to explicitly state that covers cannot obstruct the plate's text or impair visibility, which is critical for safety and law enforcement. The requirement applies uniformly to all license plates and aims to standardize cover usage under state regulations.
