Introduced
by
To authorize a “Support Our Troops” specialty license plate, with the net premium revenue going to the "Support Our Troops Inc." organization, which is reportedly promoting the creation of similar license plates in most states. The bill also contains an earlier proposal from the Secretary of State to revise the fund-raising specialty license plate program for nonprofit organizations, which would require, among other things, an organization wanting to sponsor a plate to make a nonrefundable upfront payment of $15,000 to cover programming, layout and other startup costs. It would also require minimum sales levels of 2,000 plates in the first year, and 500 new plates (not renewals) in each additional year, or production of the plate would be dropped.
Referred to the Committee on Transportation
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that would require legislative approval for any new specialty plates.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 106 to 0 (details)
