Title: Relates to certain motor vehicle license plates; repealer

Status: Referred to Transportation

Introduced: September 26, 2025

Primary sponsor: Scott Gray

Classification: Bill (general legislative instrument)

Purpose and intent

The bill is described as a “repealer” relating to “certain motor vehicle license plates.”

Based on the title, the core intent appears to be to repeal one or more existing statutes, regulations, or programs connected to motor vehicle license plates. The exact provisions to be repealed are not specified in the available summary, and the precise scope would be defined in the bill’s text.

What the bill would do (key provisions and changes)

The available information confirms only the broad action: repeal of certain license plate-related provisions.

Specifics such as which plates, which requirements, fees, design standards, issuance processes, or related programs would be removed are not provided here.

Because this is a repealer, the bill would eliminate controlling language in existing law rather than add new requirements. The exact statutory sections affected would be identified in the enacted text and any accompanying analyses.

Potential impact (who/what could be affected)

State department/agency: Likely the department responsible for motor vehicles (e.g., DMV or equivalent) would implement the repeals and adjust administrative rules, forms, and processes.

Vehicle owners and applicants: Depending on the scope, changes could affect how license plates are issued, displayed, renewed, or replaced, and whether certain plate options (e.g., specialty or personalized plates) remain available.

Plate manufacturers and vendors: If the repealed provisions touch production, procurement, or licensing, manufacturers and associated contractors could be affected.

Public programs and revenue: Any repeal affecting plate-related programs or fee structures could influence program funding and revenue collections.

Legislative process: With a companion bill in the Senate (S 8506), there is a cross-chamber pathway that could influence final framing and consensus.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Current stage: Referred to the Transportation committee, indicating a review focused on motor vehicles and highway issues.

Next steps: Committee hearings, potential amendments, and votes in the Assembly; concurrent consideration with Senate companion S 8506. If both houses approve, a conference or final passage would follow and proceed to the governor.

Effective date: The summary does not specify an effective date; the enacted law would indicate the date (or date upon which the repeals take effect).

Notes for readers

The exact scope and impact depend on the text of A 9122. To assess concrete effects, review the bill’s full language, any fiscal or legal impact statements, and the accompanying bill memo once released.

Stakeholders should monitor actions on both A 9122 and its Senate companion S 8506 for alignment and potential amendments.
