Bill > H6399

This bill repeals a provision in Rhode Island's motor vehicle registration law that was set to expire on December 31, 2025, which currently allows nonprofit organizations to reduce the minimum number of prepaid special license plate orders from 600 to 150 plates per plate type. Under the existing law, nonprofits can request special plates with as few as 150 prepaid orders by paying a fee calculated based on the difference between 600 and the actual number of orders, multiplied by $30. The bill would eliminate the December 31, 2025 expiration date for this reduced minimum order provision, effectively making the current flexible ordering process permanent. This means sponsoring nonprofit organizations can continue to create and issue special license plates with lower minimum order requirements, potentially making it easier and more cost-effective for these organizations to offer unique vehicle registration plates that support their causes. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing ongoing flexibility for nonprofit plate sponsors.
