Legislation to require that motor vehicles display only a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle died when the legislature adjourned for the year.

Legislation to require that motor vehicles display only a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle died when the legislature adjourned for the year. The bill did not receive committee consideration. The measure would have saved money, conserved resources and brought Wisconsin in line with other states that have moved to a single-plate requirement. The bill also would have protected the design contours of collector cars and relieved vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on some fabricated and original bumpers.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed into law a bill to allow the display, on collector vehicles manufactured before 1979, of one or two historical registration plates from or representing the model year of the vehicle.

A bill to allow the display, on collector vehicles manufactured before 1979, of one or two historical registration plates from or representing the model year of the vehicle was signed into law by Governor Scott Walker. Under the new law, these plates could be used if the vehicle is being operated to or from a car show or parade and any current registration plate issued for the vehicle is carried in the vehicle.

In Wisconsin, a vehicle is eligible for registration as a collector vehicle if the vehicle is at least 20 years old, has not been altered and is being preserved for its historic interest, or if the vehicle is at least 25 years old and is a certain type of former military vehicle.

Legislation to authorize the Division of Motor Vehicles to issue replica year of manufacture plates for antique vehicles was introduced in Rhode Island.

Legislation to authorize the Division of Motor Vehicles to issue replica year of manufacture plates for antique vehicles was introduced. The bill also allows the state to approve for use plates that were issued by the state in the exact year of manufacture of the vehicle. In Rhode Island, an antique motor car is “any motor vehicle, which is more than 25 years old. Unless fully inspected and meeting inspection requirements, the vehicle may be maintained solely for use in exhibitions, club activities, parades and other functions of public interest, and may not be used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods over any public highway.”
