HB 1995 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Provides that the Department of Revenue shall issue only one license plate to most registered motor vehicles, as opposed to the current requirement to issue two plates

HB 1995 changes Missouri's vehicle registration rules by requiring the Department of Revenue to issue only one license plate for most registered motor vehicles, replacing the current requirement for two plates. This affects all Missouri vehicle owners who register standard passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and similar non-commercial vehicles. The bill allows commercial vehicles over 12,000 pounds gross weight to request two plates (with distinguishing marks) if needed, but mandates a single plate for all other vehicles starting August 28, 2026. The law also preserves special plates for disabled veterans and National Guard members, maintaining their unique wording.
