Senate approves bill that would ban covered license plates
Monday the Senate approved a bill that would bar motorists from using plastic covers, sprays and other substances to obscure their license plates to avoid costly tickets.
Last month, the bill, which focuses on license plates for special organizations, narrowly failed in Senate. But on Monday, the bill passed out of the chamber on an 18-6 vote after a lawmaker requested it be reconsidered.
Supporters have argued that these license-plate products threaten public safety, since law-enforcement officials and other drivers need to read license plates during Amber Alerts, hit-and-runs and other emergencies. Foes of the ban contend that state law already requires license plates to be readable.
