AB 256 — Vehicles: registration.

Summary

Existing law requires current month and year tabs, indicating the month and year of expiration of a vehicle's registration, to be attached to the rear license plate assigned to the vehicle for the last preceding registration year in which the licensed plates were issued. Under existing law, a vehicle that fails to display current month and year tabs or display expired tabs is in violation of law. Existing law prohibits a person from driving, moving, or leaving standing upon a highway, or in an offstreet public parking facility, any motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, pole or pipe dolly, or logging dolly, unless it is registered and the appropriate fees have been paid, except as specified. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2024, until January 1, 2030, prohibit a violation of these provisions from being the sole basis for any enforcement action before the 2nd month after the month of expiration of the vehicle's registration. Notwithstanding this provision, the bill would authorize enforcement action before the 2nd month following the month of expiration if a vehicle is stopped for any other violation of the Vehicle Code.
