Bill > HB4600

This bill amends the Texas Transportation Code to expand the state's Animal Friendly specialty license plate program. Specifically, the bill requires the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to not only issue license plates with the words "Animal Friendly" but also to create additional specialty license plates designed to support animal welfare and spay-neuter programs within Texas. The department is mandated to develop these new license plates in collaboration with the Texas Humane Legislation Network, a nonprofit organization focused on animal protection. The legislation is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving the department time to design and implement the new specialty license plate options. By creating more specialty plates that support animal welfare, the bill aims to raise awareness and generate funding for animal protection efforts in the state.
