The bill amends Section 31-3-18 of the General Laws regarding the registration of vehicles, specifically addressing the display of registration plates. It introduces a new provision that exempts certain motor vehicles from the requirement to display a front registration plate if they are not manufactured with a manufacturer-provided front registration plate bracket, mounting point, or other means for attachment. These vehicles must display one registration plate on the rear and carry the second registration plate within the vehicle to be shown upon request by law enforcement.

The bill maintains existing requirements for securely fastening registration plates and ensuring they are visible and legible. It also outlines penalties for violations of these provisions, which include fines as specified in another section of the law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
