• H. 307 would permit window shading or tinting material on the side and vent windows to the left and right side of the driver to shield passengers from the rays of the sun.

Overview: SAN-supported legislation (H. 307) has been introduced in Vermont to require the display of only a single, rear-mounted license plate for all passenger vehicles with a registered weight of 10,000 pounds or less. H. 307 would also allow window shading or tinting material on the side and vent windows to the left and right side of the driver. Under current law vehicles must display two license plates and exempts window shading or tinting material only for medical reasons. A similar bill to allow single license plates was also introduced earlier this year. The bill currently awaits consideration in the House Committee on Transportation.
