Changing location of vehicle registration sticker from license plate to inside back window of vehicle
SB 410 changes where vehicle registration renewal stickers are placed, requiring most stickers to be affixed to the inside of the back window instead of the license plate after January 1, 2027. This applies to all vehicle registrations except Class G registrations (standard passenger vehicles), which will continue to display stickers on license plates. The bill aims to make stickers harder to steal by moving them to a less accessible location inside the vehicle, where they remain visible through the back window. Owners of Class G vehicles will not be affected by this change, and the bill does not alter existing fees or requirements for standard plate displays.
