Bill Summary
To create a special license plate to enhance public awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donations.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 246 of the general statutes to establish a new "Donate Life" special license plate program administered by the Connecticut Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. The license plates are specifically designed to raise public awareness about organ and tissue donation. When these special plates are issued, motorists will be charged a fee that serves two purposes: first, to cover the administrative costs of producing and issuing the specialty plates, and second, to provide funding to a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that focuses on organ and tissue donation and transplantation. By creating these distinctive license plates, the bill aims to increase public understanding of the critical importance of organ and tissue donation and potentially encourage more residents to become organ donors by making the plates a visible symbol of support for this important cause.
