Front license plates in Pennsylvania may be required under one lawmaker's new bill.
Pennsylvania Senator Katie Muth, who represents Berks, Chester, and Montgomery Counties, plans to propose legislation that would require drivers to have both front and back license plates.
In a memo, Muth states requiring a front plate will “improve vehicle identification and enhance public safety by helping law enforcement officers, witnesses, or cameras more easily and quickly identify a vehicle.”
Muth adds front plates could also help with collecting tolls on roads.
Pennsylvania is among 21 other states that do not require both front and back license plates.
New Jersey, New York and Maryland, three states that border Pennsylvania, all require both front and back plates.
