This bill amends Iowa's vehicle registration laws to transition from requiring two registration plates for most motor vehicles to issuing only one registration plate. Under the new provisions, the single registration plate must be attached to the rear of the vehicle, while the registration plate for truck tractors will continue to be affixed to the front. The bill also includes various amendments to existing laws to reflect this change, such as replacing references to "plates" with "plate" and adjusting the language regarding the issuance and display of registration plates.

Additionally, the bill outlines a transition plan for implementing this change, allowing individuals who currently possess two registration plates to attach only one after the effective date of the bill. It mandates that if a person is required to transfer or return registration plates, they must do so for both plates if they were issued a pair. The bill also directs the Code editor to make necessary corrections in the law to ensure consistency with the new single plate requirement.
