State Senators Approve Bill To Drive For Limited Time Without License Plate

LANSING (WWJ) - It may soon be legal to drive without a license plate -- during a grace period.

State senators unanimously approved a House bill Wednesday requiring drivers to fasten and display a registration plate on their vehicles no later than 30 days after the registration or renewal date.

Back in November, the House cleared its proposal to amend the code with a 30-day buffer, during which paper and electronic verification through the Law Enforcement Information Network would be accepted as proof of registration.

The bill now heads to the governor's office.
