Overview: SAN-supported legislation (S.B. 887) has been introduced in Missouri that would allow all vehicles 25 years old and older to display YOM license plates. Current law limits the display of such plates to vehicles registered as historic. The bill creates an additional $25 fee for the use of YOM plates. S.B. 887 currently awaits consideration in the Senate Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee.
