Thumbs up Virginia Support: Bill to Provide for Single License Plate Introduced in Virginia

From SEMA...

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT: THE CAR HOBBY NEEDS YOUR HELP

Bill to Provide for Single License Plate Introduced in Virginia Legislature

Virginia legislation (S.B. 771) prefiled in the legislature for 2013 proposes to reduce the number of license plates furnished by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to registered motor vehicles. Under the bill, favored by state hobbyists, the DMV would issue only one license plate (rather than two) and require the single plate to be attached to the rear of the vehicle.

We Urge You to Contact Members of the Senate Transportation Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for S.B. 771

S.B. 771 would apply to every registered motor vehicle, semitrailer or trailer, including hobby cars such as antique, reconstructed and replica vehicles.

S.B. 771 would protect the aesthetic contours of collector cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on fabricated bumpers, etc.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the Virginia Senate Transportation Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support for S.B. 771.

Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Also, please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join the SAN and help defend the hobby! Thank you for your assistance.

Then come to Colorado and do the same thing. I am tired of paying no front license plate tickets. It's just a stupid rule to have two.

You would want to say something like: As a car enthusiast living in the state of Virginia, I urge you to support S.B. 771 to protect our hobby.

UPDATE
Virginia Bill to Provide for Single License Plate Pulled From Committee Consideration
Pressured by opposition from the state’s law enforcement community, Virginia legislation (S.B. 771) to reduce from two to one the number of license plates furnished by the DMV to registered motor vehicles was pulled from consideration by the bill’s sponsor. Under the bill, favored by state hobbyists, the DMV would have required the single plate to be attached to the rear of the vehicle. The bill was stricken by a unanimous vote of the Senate Transportation Committee and is unlikely to return this session.
Thank you to all who participated in supporting this bill.
