Summary

The bill lets the Division of Motor Vehicles issue custom license plates bearing the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association’s design, replacing standard plates on participating vehicles. Owners must pay a $40 issuance surcharge (split between the state general fund and the association) and a $10 renewal fee, with the association required to use the money for Rhode Island charitable causes and report annually. The measure affects vehicle owners who choose the special plates and provides a new revenue source for the association.
