AI Summary

This bill authorizes the creation of a distinctive license plate design by the Complete Streets advisory committee, with a $50 fee in addition to the standard registration fee. The proceeds from the additional fee, after deducting administrative costs, will be directed to the Complete Streets program, which aims to encourage municipalities to incorporate complete streets design elements and infrastructure into locally-funded roads. In the event of the dissolution of the Complete Streets program, the registrar may either cease to offer the specialized license plates or redirect the remaining funds to a related tax-exempt organization that promotes complete streets initiatives.
