Arizona License Plate Law Takes effect Today

Arizona License Plate Law Takes effect Today

If you have a holder or a frame on your license plate, you may want to check and make sure it complies with a new state law going into effect today. This does not affect out of state license plates.

I’ve made it a point to look at plates this week and have found there are still many who have not changed or removed the frame.

I personally would expect a grace period, but have found no mention of one in anything I’ve read. So, expect to be ticketed if you are stopped.

Suggested reading.

The fine averages about $136 here in the valley. That’s not small change, at least in my book it’s not.

Judging by the comments made on the articles appearing in the EV Tribune and the Arizona Republic, this is definitely not a popular law.

I finally removed mine this evening. Now I'm wondering if it would have been OK to keep it since the Arizona on the plate was covered by the Arizona on the frame.

Remind your friends and neighbors.

Have a very Blessed and Prosperous New Year!

I had to scrape a few years worth of tags from the plate.

This license plate has seen better days. It's almost 12 years old and has been through a couple accidents. Next car gets a new plate.
