What it does

Existing law generally prohibits the use of a covering on vehicle license plates, except as specified. Existing law excepts from this prohibition the installation of a cover over a lawfully parked vehicle to protect it from the weather and the elements, and authorizes a peace officer or other regularly salaried employee of a public agency designated to enforce laws, including local ordinances, relating to the parking of vehicles to temporarily remove so much of the cover as is necessary to inspect any license plate, tab, or indicia of registration on a vehicle. Existing law generally makes a violation of the Vehicle Code an infraction.
