I live in Ohio, currently requires a front plate, but won't starting 07/2020. I ordered from the factory, specified on the order and it was indeed written on the order, when the window sticker finally showed up on line it had a front plate bracket on it and when it showed up at the dealer, it had a license plate bracket on it. I asked the dealer, he said it came installed.... BS?, maybe, maybe not, if I was buying I'd make him repair it.
