Eliminates front registration plate and requires issuance of single rear registration plate.
This New Jersey bill requires vehicle owners to display only a single rear registration plate, removing the legal requirement to show a plate on the front of the vehicle. It directly affects all drivers in the state by changing how they must display their license plates and will require those who currently have two plates to return one to the Motor Vehicle Commission. The law also includes a public awareness campaign to inform drivers about the new rules and clarifies that obscured plate information will still be enforceable if it can reasonably be identified.
