S1637, An Act relative to motor vehicle registration plates

Senator Brownsberger submitted the following written testimony to the Joint Committee on Transportation.

TO:          Committee on Transportation

 FROM:    Senator William N. Brownsberger

 RE:           S1637, An Act relative to motor vehicle registration plates

 DATE:       September 10, 2013

 I am writing in support of S1637, An Act relative to motor vehicle registration plates.  Eliminating the requirement for a front plate would not only save money as approximately 500,000 fewer plates would be issued each year, but would also save resources (aluminum primarily).

 I hope that the Committee can find ways to overcome public safety concerns about this proposal and craft a bill that removes the front plate requirement.
