Bill > HB5455

This bill mandates that all registration fees collected for special license plates in West Virginia will now be directed to the State Road Fund, which is crucial for maintaining and improving the state's transportation infrastructure. Additionally, it introduces a voluntary donation option for individuals applying for or renewing special license plates, allowing them to contribute to causes directly related to the theme of their chosen plate, such as supporting veterans' programs for military plates or conservation efforts for environmental plates. These donations will be kept separate from mandatory registration fees and will be deposited into designated funds for the selected purpose, ensuring transparency by clearly informing applicants that donations are optional and that registration fees go to the State Road Fund. The Division of Motor Vehicles will also report annually on the amounts collected and distributed.
