Did you know HB 1055 changed the fee disbursement for specialty license plates?  Instead of a one time fee of which $22.00 would go to the program, it’s now $35.00 annually and only $10.00 goes to the program and the other $25.00 goes to the general fund.

(m)(l)(1) The General Assembly has determined that the following existing special license plates supporting the agencies, funds, or nonprofit corporations listed in this subsection shall continue to be issued for the purposes indicated and that all of the funds raised from the manufacturing fee, less a $1.00 fee to be paid to the county tag agent and a $2.00 manufacturing fee to be paid to the department, shall be disbursed to the agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation indicated in this subsection. The special license plates listed in this subsection shall not be subject to a manufacturing fee, a special tag license plate fee, and a special license plate renewal fee. The revenue disbursement for the special license plates listed in this subsection shall be as follows:

(A) Manufacturing fee – $25.00 of which $24.00 is to be deposited into the general fund and $1.00 to be paid to the local county tag agent;

(B) Special license plate fee – $35.00 of which $25.00 is to be deposited into the general fund and $10.00 is to be dedicated to the sponsoring agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation as permitted by Article III, Section IX, Paragraph VI(n) of the Constitution; and

(C) Special license plate renewal fee – $35.00 of which $25.00 is to be deposited into the general fund and $10.00 is to be dedicated to the sponsoring agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation as permitted by Article III, Section IX, Paragraph VI(n) of the Constitution.
