AI Summary

This bill creates three new special license plates for Oklahoma: the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium License Plate, The Church Studio License Plate, and the Star Spencer High School License Plate. Specifically, the bill amends existing state law to add these new specialty plates to the list of available options for vehicle owners. For each new plate, Service Oklahoma (the state agency responsible for vehicle registration) is authorized to design and issue the plates in consultation with the respective organizations. The organizations may also enter into licensing agreements with Service Oklahoma, receiving up to $20 for each plate issued. Like other special license plates in Oklahoma, these new plates will require an additional $35 annual fee on top of standard vehicle registration costs, with portions of the fee going to the respective organizations and some allocated to state administrative funds. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, giving Service Oklahoma time to develop and implement the new license plate designs. These specialty plates allow vehicle owners to show support for local cultural institutions and educational organizations while generating some additional funding for those groups.
