Bill Summary
This resolve creates a commemorative simulated motor vehicle registration plate in celebration of the United States of America Semiquincentennial. The Secretary of State is directed to design and issue the plate, which may be displayed from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 covering the front registration plate on a motor vehicle. Revenue generated by the sale of the plate in excess of the cost of production and issuance will be given to the Maine State Cultural Affairs Council.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Maine Secretary of State to create a special commemorative license plate celebrating the 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial) of the United States, which will be valid from January 1 to December 31, 2026. The reflectorized plate can be displayed by covering (but not removing) a vehicle's front registration plate during that period, and it will not be allowed on truck tractors. The plate will cost $25, with $9 going to cover production costs and $16 being directed to the Maine State Cultural Affairs Council. The Secretary of State must develop a plan for selling and distributing these plates, and the plates can only be used as specified in the resolve. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon approval, and is specifically designed to recognize the founding of the United States on July 4, 1776, by providing a commemorative license plate option for residents.
