AI Summary

This bill allows for the creation of special motor vehicle registration plates for vehicles associated with the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Honor Flight Hub, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to honoring veterans by providing them with free trips to Washington D.C. memorials. These special plates will be designed by the organization in collaboration with the division of motor vehicles and approved by the state police, and will be used in place of regular registration plates. To obtain these plates, a minimum number of pre-paid orders must be met, and in addition to the standard registration fee, there will be a $40 issuance surcharge, with $20 going to the general fund and $20 distributed annually to the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Honor Flight Hub to support its mission. Subsequent renewals will incur a $10 surcharge also benefiting the organization. The Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Honor Flight Hub must use any Rhode Island-sourced funds for the benefit of Rhode Island-based charitable organizations and submit an annual accounting report before receiving these funds. This act will become effective six months after its passage.
