Relating to the display of a license plate only on the rear of a motor vehicle; authorizing a fee.
HB 3046 allows motor vehicle owners to display only a rear license plate instead of front and rear plates by paying a $50 annual fee. To qualify, vehicles must display a special state-issued sticker on the windshield for validation. The bill amends Texas Transportation Code to create this option, require the windshield sticker, and direct the $50 fee into the state highway fund. It applies to all registered vehicles choosing this configuration, with enforcement rules updated to reflect the new requirement.
