AI Summary

This bill requires the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to develop and make available a special registration plate supporting hunger relief initiatives. The owner of an eligible vehicle, such as a passenger car or motorcycle, can apply for this special plate and must pay an additional one-time fee to cover the MVA's costs and an ongoing fee to be credited to the newly established Hunger Relief Initiatives Fund. The fund will be used to support hunger relief efforts, including food banks and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The Department of Human Services will administer the fund, which is a special, non-lapsing fund that will receive revenue from the special plate fees, appropriations, and other sources.
