Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 40-2-86.1 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to license plates promoting or supporting certain agencies, funds, or nonprofit corporations or issued to qualified motor vehicles or owners with proceeds deposited in the general fund, so as to establish a specialty license plate recognizing the importance of organ donation; to provide for related matters; to provide for an effective date; to provide for compliance with constitutional requirements; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's existing law regarding specialty license plates by adding a new option for a special license plate that recognizes organ donation. The new plate will feature the phrase "Organ Donors Save Lives" and, like other specialty plates, will have its proceeds deposited into the state's general fund. The legislation is set to become effective on January 1, 2026, and requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives to pass, as mandated by the state constitution. The bill aims to raise awareness about organ donation by creating a dedicated license plate that drivers can choose to display on their vehicles, potentially encouraging more people to consider becoming organ donors and highlighting the critical importance of organ donation in saving lives.
