H 761 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to prohibiting the electronic issuance of temporary motor vehicle registrations and number plates

H 761 prohibits the electronic issuance of temporary motor vehicle registrations and number plates in Vermont. It repeals the existing provision (23 V.S.A. § 518) that allowed electronic temporary plates and amends display requirements to mandate physical plates for temporary registrations. This directly affects Vermont drivers who need temporary plates for vehicles (e.g., during new purchases or relocation), requiring them to receive physical plates instead of digital alternatives. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and focuses solely on the method of issuance without altering other registration rules.
