DON’T DELAY!  Please contact the members of the Oklahoma House Appropriations and Budget Committee to request their opposition to H.B. 3899:
 

You may use the following points in your message:
 

  • H.B. 3899 would increase costs, waste valuable resources and brings Oklahoma in conflict with other states that are moving to a single plate requirement.
     
  • H.B. 3899 would fail to protect the aesthetic contours of collector cars and force vehicle owners to take on the burden and cost of having to create mounting holes on bumpers. 
     
  • H.B. 3899 would place significant limitations on the performance and styling equipment options available to automotive enthusiasts in the state and the industry supporting their hobby.
     
  • H.B. 3899 would fail to accommodate classic and special-interest vehicles, many of which are not originally equipped with a designated place to display a front plate.  Current law allows a single “antique” or “classic” plate for vehicles that are at least 25 years old and used primarily for historical or exhibition purposes.
     

Overview: SAN-opposed legislation (H.B. 3899) has been introduced in Oklahoma to require front and rear license plates on all vehicles. Currently, all vehicles are required to display only a single, rear-mounted license plate. The bill awaits consideration in the House Appropriations and Budget Committee.
