Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Code Section 40-2-86 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to special license plates promoting or supporting certain worthy 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 Southern University Alumni; to establish a specialty license plate honoring Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; 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 the Georgia Code to create two new special license plate options: one honoring Southern University Alumni and another honoring Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. These specialty license plates will allow vehicle owners to show support for these organizations while generating funds through plate sales. For the Southern University Alumni plate, proceeds will be disbursed to the Atlanta Metropolitan Chapter of Southern University Alumni Federation of Georgia, Inc., while the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority plate proceeds will go to the Delta Life Development Center. The bill requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives to become law, and if passed, will take effect on January 1, 2026. This type of legislation is common in many states, allowing organizations to create custom license plates that serve as both a fundraising mechanism and a way for members and supporters to display pride in their affiliated group.
