Bill > HB1846

This bill modifies the fee disposition for the Seattle Sounders FC special license plate, specifically changing how the proceeds from these specialty license plates are allocated. Previously, the funds were to be split between Washington state mentors and the Washington state leadership board, with specific allocations for mentoring grants and program development. Under the new legislation, the entire proceeds will now be directed to the RAVE foundation to inspire youth in underserved communities using soccer as a vehicle. The bill follows a standard process for special license plates, where the Washington Department of Licensing will first collect the plate fees, deduct administrative costs (up to $12 for initial issue and $2 for renewal), and then remit the remaining proceeds to the state treasurer. The state treasurer will credit the funds to the motor vehicle fund initially and then to the designated account once the state's implementation costs have been recovered. The bill also sets an effective date of November 1, 2025, ensuring a clear timeline for the implementation of these changes.
