bill for front plate only

kensnismo · 02-13-2013, 04:33 PM

H.B. 557 would apply to all passenger cars used to accommodate 10 or fewer passengers and light trucks, including pickup trucks, panel delivery trucks, or carryall trucks that have a manufacturer's rated carrying capacity of 2,000 pounds or less.

this is your chance to support this bill email your state Representative now

I believe this is a House Bill in the Texas Legislature HB 557 - Texas 83rd Legislature - Open States

its just texas, there is no such thing as front plates in Louisiana and Mississippi...I think Bama to..So is this a bill For ONLY front plates or no front plates at all?

This thread should be renamed "Texas Legislation to require only one rear license plate in Texas"

Link to bill tracking. This is state representative Larry Gonzalez' bill. His district is in Williamson county... Round Rock....

Also another bill on topic. This is Mr. Lavender's bill. Seems to be a little bit of momentum on this.

Also here is a link to find your state rep. and voice your support. A simple phone call does wonders. An email is only helpful if you call and get the appropriate staffer's name and contact info. The members general email is NOT a good contact. Pick up the phone and let these guys know they have support!

Also very important to note this is only the first step... Let the bill authors know there is support...

Then the appropriate committee chairs must hear there is support... In this case House Transportation. A similar bill might go to the public safety committee as well.

Then it must get set for floor debate...

Whole process starts over again in the Senate. A bill must pass both chambers...

Final step is letting the Governor's office know there is support. He has final say and can veto a bill. Complicated process in place to make it really hard to pass a bill. But, we can let folks know there is support for this!
