AN ACT To amend Code Section 40-2-86 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to license plates promoting or supporting certain agencies, funds, or nonprofit corporations with proceeds disbursed to the general fund and the agency, fund, or nonprofit corporation, so as to establish a specialty license plate honoring Jackson State University; to provide for related matters; to provide for compliance with constitutional requirements; to provide for an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a special license plate in Georgia to honor Jackson State University, with the funds generated from its sale being directed to the Jackson State University National Alumni Association Inc., Metro Atlanta Chapter. This change is being made to an existing law that allows for special license plates supporting various organizations, ensuring that proceeds are distributed to both the general fund and the supported entity. The bill also specifies that it will only become law if it receives a two-thirds majority vote in both the Georgia Senate and House of Representatives, as required by the state constitution, and will take effect on January 1, 2027.
