Introduced

To revise the fund-raising specialty license plate program for nonprofit organizations. The bill 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. The bill 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.

Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that also includes a provision to revise the definition of "wood harvester" in the law setting license fees for different classes of vehicle, so it would apply not just a person hauling logs or forest products, but also to hauling or transporting wood harvesting equipment (like feller-buncher machines, or logging road equipment including bulldozers). The law sets lower registration fees for farmers and wood harvesters.

Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not revise the fundraising license plate program, but instead does not allow county road commissions to to establish speed limits on gravel or dirt roads that are higher than were in place before Nov. 9, 2006 (when a new law went into effect raising the state "prima facie" speed limit on dirt and gravel roads) unless the local government approves the higher limit. A different substitute was adopted that did essentially the same thing.
