Sets fines for these violations. Provides that a law enforcement officer may confiscate a license plate if the plate was treated with a substance to block electronic image recording. Provides for revoking the registration of a vehicle whose registration plate is found to have been physically altered to obstruct the visibility or electronic image recording of the plate. Provides for the impoundment of a vehicle driven by a person with a cancelled, suspended, or revoked license, if the person's license was suspended for unpaid toll violations. Provides that the Attorney General may file suit against any individual or entity offering or marketing the sale of any product advertised as having the capacity to obstruct the visibility or electronic image recording of a license plate.
