HCS/HB 349 - Under current law, property-carrying commercial motor vehicles registered at a gross weight in excess of 12,000 pounds are only issued one license plate. This act allows the owners of these types of vehicles to request and be issued two plates. If two license plates are issued, the plates shall distinguishing marks of them indicating which plate is for the front of the vehicle and which plate is for the rear of the vehicle. The Director of the Department of Revenue may assess and collect an additional fee for the second plate (Section 301.130). STEPHEN WITTE
