AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would ban selling, offering for sale, or helping to sell products designed or marketed to make license plates hard to read, as well as fake, altered, or unauthorized license plates. The Federal Trade Commission would enforce the ban, which would apply to sales made 90 days or more after the bill becomes law. The Federal Highway Administration would publish advisory guidance on license plate readability that states would not be required to follow. It would also create a grant program for states, local governments, law enforcement, and toll facility owners to identify vehicles that regularly evade tolls, and it authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
