Bill > SF894

This bill establishes a new Donate Life special license plate program for Minnesota vehicle owners. Vehicle owners who want these special plates must be registered owners of passenger automobiles, non-commercial pickup trucks, motorcycles, or recreational vehicles, and must pay additional fees including a $10 annual contribution to the Donate Life account. The commissioner of motor vehicles will design the plates in consultation with Donate Life, ensuring they include the organization's marks and colors. Owners can transfer these special plates to another qualifying vehicle registered in their name for a $5 transfer fee. The contributions collected will be deposited into a special Donate Life account in the state's special revenue fund, with funds first used to cover administrative costs and any remaining money distributed to Donate Life to support their mission of promoting organ and tissue donation. The new special plates will become available starting January 1, 2026, and are exempt from certain existing special plate regulations. The bill aims to raise awareness and support for organ and tissue donation through this specialized license plate program.
