Washington State Bills to Provide for Single License Plate Die as Legislature Adjourns

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff  

Legislation to allow the issuance, at the option of the vehicle owner, of only a single rear-mounted license plate died when the legislature adjourned for the year. The bill had not been given committee consideration. Separate legislation to allow the issuance of only a single rear-mounted license plate for vehicles originally manufactured without an installed bracket, device or other means to display and secure a license plate on the front of the vehicle also died. Finally, a bill to allow a person applying for a collector vehicle license plate for a vehicle manufactured in or before 1986 to receive either a collector vehicle plate assigned by the state or provide an actual year of manufacture plate for use on the vehicle was not considered before the legislature adjourned for the year.
