Multi year plates planned for trucks and RVs in Illinois
Springfield AP Secretary of State Jim Edgar outlined a plan to issue multi year license plates for pickup trucks and some recreational vehicles, extending plate life to eight years from five. The move could save about 50 million dollars over four years, though front plates will remain and a second plate requirement stays due to law enforcement concerns. Illinois began multi year plates in 1978 with annual renewal stickers, now replacing the need for new plates every year. Edgar notes about 20 million dollars saved so far.
