Re: No front license plate required in July 2020
Hybrid and electric cars now also have to pay additional fees upon registration to offset the gas taxes they aren't paying. About time they started paying their fair share. Now to get rid of any remaining tax breaks; let them succeed or fail in the marketplace of ideas based upon their own merits and not government interference and manipulation.

Well that takes all the fun out of it now I guess I will finally be legal in 8 months....
I have not displayed a front plate on any of my vehicles in 15+ years.

Why the 14 month delay till this is implemented ? Why not 90 days ?
Will certainly put a dent in photo 'enforcement', so I'm a fan.

Of course I have two big holes drilled into my front bumper to have installed mine a few years back . Guess I'll be leaving it....
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

I was not a fan of the front plate until I experienced drivers blowing by stopped school buses. It is easier to read plates coming at you than the ones moving away from you.

I'm sure BSSA & OSP will try and convince someone to introduce a bill to change it out before July 2020....

Re: No front license plate required in July 2020
Probably, but I think getting any traction will be a very heavy lift. The current House favored getting rid of it to the point that they did not give ground in conference committee. Thus I think it's doubtful they'd revisit the issue before 2021 at the earliest. Introduce the bill all you want but don't expect it to get committee time.dustymedic wrote:I'm sure BSSA & OSP will try and convince someone to introduce a bill to change it out before July 2020....
I suspect most legislators really couldn't care less about the issue. They've been debating it for years. However it plays well with urban Democrats because of the perception that the law is used as a justification for stopping a disproportionate number of minorities. A segment of people in the Cincinnati area felt that the UC police shooting a few years ago didn't have to happen since it all started over no front plate. Plus Cincinnati is surrounded by states that do not require two plates and they're not running double the rate of unsolved crimes as a more insular city like Columbus.

I wish my lawmakers had asked the OSHP why they only run a unit ID plate on the rear if they think identification from the front is SO important .

Have a great day today unless you have made other plans .
