Summary

The bill adds a new Lifetown specialty license plate and establishes a fund to collect the fees paid by vehicle owners. All of the collected money must be distributed to a long list of specific charities, schools, historical societies, and other nonprofit groups, each with its own use restrictions. The measure aims to channel plate revenue into community‑benefiting programs while limiting administrative costs and prohibiting political or abortion‑related spending.
