Bill > HB2446

This bill modifies the existing law regarding special license plates for professional sports teams by adding the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the National Women's Basketball Association (WNBA) to the list of professional sports organizations that can have their emblems featured on vehicle license plates. Under the proposed changes, vehicle owners can obtain special license plates with these new leagues' emblems after paying a $35 emblem-use contribution to the respective sports team and a $15 additional registration fee. The plates will be personalized and feature the team's official emblem, designed to be reflective and visually appealing. The bill maintains the existing mechanism where a portion of the emblem-use contribution (up to 95%) is forwarded to local sports authorities or commissions for marketing and promoting the teams, with a small administrative fee retained. This expansion allows fans of women's professional soccer and basketball to show their support through specialized vehicle license plates, similar to existing options for male professional sports leagues.
