Bill > HF2656

This bill establishes a new type of special license plate for ice fishing enthusiasts in Minnesota. Vehicle owners of passenger automobiles, non-commercial one-ton pickup trucks, motorcycles, or recreational vehicles can obtain these special plates by paying the standard plate fees, registration taxes, and making a financial contribution to the "Keep It Clean" account. The commissioner of motor vehicles will design the plate in consultation with Keep It Clean MN, and the plates can be transferred to another qualifying vehicle owned by the same person for a $5 fee. Contributions collected will be deposited into a special revenue fund and will first cover the administrative costs of the account, with remaining funds going to Keep It Clean MN to support efforts to reduce waste on ice. The bill specifies that these special plates will be available starting January 1, 2026. The organization Keep It Clean MN appears to be focused on environmental preservation, specifically targeting waste reduction in ice fishing environments.
