Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to HB 2157 updates the title and includes significant changes regarding one-movement stickers for vehicles. It now allows these stickers to be purchased online, doubles their validity period, and clarifies that they cannot be used as proof of vehicle ownership. These changes aim to simplify the process for vehicle movement and reduce confusion over the sticker's intended use, which ultimately benefits users and streamlines operations at the Division of Motor Vehicles.
