The Senate Highways and Transportation Committee has approved legislation to provide for the issuance of a single rear-mounted license plate for certain motor vehicles.

Legislation to provide for the issuance of a single rear-mounted license plate for certain motor vehicles was approved by the Senate Highways and Transportation Committee and will be sent to the Senate floor for a vote by all members. The bill has already been approved by the Montana House. 

Under the bill, “If a person is not able to comply with the requirement that a front license plate be displayed because of the body construction of the motor vehicle, the person may submit to the Highway Patrol an application for a waiver along with a $25 inspection fee.” 

Vehicle owners would not be obligated to apply for the waiver or pay the fee.
