Bill > HB1931

This bill modifies the conditions for using funds from various special license plate programs in Washington state. The legislation updates the administrative procedures for collecting special license plate fees, allowing the Department of Licensing to deduct up to $12 for initial issue and $2 for renewal for administration costs. The bill makes several specific changes to how funds from different special license plate programs are distributed, including modifications to accounts for organizations like the Seattle Seahawks charitable foundation, Seattle Sounders FC's RAVE foundation, and the Washington state leadership board. For example, the Seattle Seahawks account will now provide 75% of funds to the Seahawks charitable foundation and 25% to the state leadership board, replacing the previous allocation. The bill maintains the requirement that for some programs, like the sports mentoring and world fellows programs, at least 90% of received funds must be directly applied to youth services or fellowships. The legislation ensures that qualified nonprofit organizations receiving these funds must be tax-exempt and meet specific legal requirements, and the funds are subject to allotment procedures but do not require a specific appropriation.
