You may use the following points in your message:
- H. 61 would save money, conserve resources, and bring the state in line with other states that have moved to a single plate requirement.
- H. 61 would protect the aesthetic contours of cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on original bumpers.
- H. 61 would accommodate classic and special-interest vehicles, many of which are not originally equipped with a designated place to display a front plate.
- H. 61 would allow greater performance and styling equipment options for automotive enthusiasts in the state and the industry supporting their hobby.
Overview: SAN-supported legislation (H. 61) 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. Under current law vehicles must display two license plates. The bill currently awaits consideration in the House Committee on Transportation.
