Summary

The bill would let a buyer who trades in a vehicle at a dealer keep the old plate and put it on the new car, as long as the plate series matches the new plate requirement, the vehicle type is compatible, and the registration county is the same. It also extends the same rule to private sales, permitting the seller to reuse the plate on a different vehicle they register for the first time under the same criteria. This aims to simplify plate transfers and reduce the need for new plates.
