Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Legislative Bill 97 primarily involve the issuance of license plates for motor vehicles. Specifically, the bill now allows for only one license plate to be issued for certain vehicles, rather than the traditional two. This adjustment could reduce costs for vehicle owners and simplify the registration process, making it easier for them to comply with vehicle regulations. Additionally, the bill updates provisions related to other motor vehicle issues, such as junk vehicles and minibikes, reflecting an effort to modernize and streamline existing laws.
