That frame around your license plate could cost you $100 if it covers up information on your license plate.
Any operator of a motor vehicle who covers any registration plate with any frame or transparent clear or color-tinted cover that makes a number or letter on the plate, the State name on the plate, or a number or month on the registration renewal sticker on the plate illegible commits an infraction and shall be penalized under G.S. 14-3.1
Other new laws concerning animal cruelty and domestic violence, among other topics, also go into effect December 1.
