Bill > HB1736

This bill modifies the existing law regarding wild resource conservation vehicle registration plates in Pennsylvania by establishing two distinct plate designs and clarifying fee allocation. Specifically, the bill maintains a standard wild resource conservation plate with a $35 additional fee, of which $15 will be directed to the Wild Resource Conservation Fund, and introduces a new special plate design featuring a saw-whet owl perched on a pine tree branch against a yellow-white background with specific text requirements. The bill also allows individuals to continue using previously issued plates with the same owl design, provided the registration plate meets existing display requirements and the alphanumeric pattern is available. The new provisions will take effect four months after the bill's passage, giving the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation time to implement the changes. The bill aims to provide more vehicle registration plate options that support wildlife conservation efforts while generating additional funding for the Wild Resource Conservation Fund.
