This bill strengthens California’s laws regarding license plates to prevent obstruction or alteration that could hinder law enforcement’s ability to track vehicles. It prohibits the sale and manufacture of devices like shades or tints that obscure license plates, and it increases the penalty for altering or covering license plates. The bill also clarifies existing rules about license plate visibility and addresses accommodations for vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts.
