Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 40-2-86 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to license plates promoting or supporting certain agencies, funds, or nonprofit corporations with proceeds disbursed to the general fund and the agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation, so as to establish a specialty license plate honoring Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; to provide for related matters; to provide for compliance with constitutional requirements; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's vehicle licensing laws to create a new specialty license plate honoring Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., a historically African American sorority founded in 1913. The new license plate will be added to the existing list of special license plate options, with proceeds from its sale being specifically directed to the Delta Life Development Center, which is likely a charitable or community development organization associated with the sorority. The bill requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives to become law, which is a constitutional requirement for certain types of legislation. By creating this specialty plate, the state provides a way for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority members and supporters to show their pride while also generating funds for the organization's developmental work.
