Overview: SAN-supported legislation (H.B. 687) has been introduced in Illinois to allow the display of only a single, rear-mounted license plate for all passenger vehicles. Under current law vehicles must display two license plates. The bill currently awaits consideration in the House Transportation: Vehicles & Safety Committee.
