Rhode Island Single Year of Manufacture Plate Bills Become Law

Compiled by SEMA Editors

All motor vehicles 25 model years old and older are currently eligible for courtesy year of manufacture plates in Rhode Island.

Legislation (S.B. 621/H.B. 5888) to allow vehicles with year of manufacture (YOM) tags to display a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle passed the deadline for the Governor’s signature or veto, and thus has become law without being signed.

All motor vehicles 25 model years old and older are currently eligible for courtesy YOM plates in Rhode Island. Previously, these vehicles were required to display both front and rear YOM plates.
