18 | 18 | | Under current law, members of certain designated special groups may obtain |
---|
19 | 19 | | from the Department of Transportation special registration plates for certain |
---|
20 | 20 | | vehicles that are owned or leased by special group members. A fee, in addition to the |

21 | 21 | | regular registration fee for the particular kind of vehicle, is charged for the issuance |
---|
22 | 22 | | or reissuance of most special plates. |
---|
23 | 23 | | This bill establishes a special group for persons to express support for |
---|
24 | 24 | | protecting pollinators. The bill requires that plates issued to members of the special |
---|
25 | 25 | | group have a design that covers the entire plate and includes the words “Protect |
---|
26 | 26 | | Pollinators.” |
---|
27 | 27 | | The bill provides that, in addition to the required fees, special group members |
---|
28 | 28 | | are required to make a voluntary payment of $25 to be issued the special plates. |

---|
30 | 30 | | whichever is less, from the voluntary payment moneys for the initial costs of |

---|
32 | 32 | | are deposited in the conservation fund to be used by the Department of Natural |
