DON’T DELAY! Please contact the Senate Special Legislation and Veterans Affairs Committee immediately to request support for S.B. 621:
You may use the following points in your message:
- S.B. 621 would save money, conserve resources and bring Rhode Island in line with other states that have moved to a single plate requirement for historic and antique vehicles.
- S.B. 621 would protect the aesthetic contours of cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on original bumpers.
Overview: Legislation (S.B. 621) has been introduced to allow vehicles with “year of manufacture” (YOM) tags to display a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle. All motor vehicles 25 model years and older are eligible for courtesy YOM plates in Rhode Island. The bill is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Special Legislation Committee on April 10th.
