HF 716: Providing for voluntary contributions to public safety agencies during vehicle registration renewal

What it does

This bill requires the department of transportation and county treasurers to request that a person make a voluntary contribution of $1 or more, computed to the nearest whole dollar, to the person’s choice of a local or state public safety agency when renewing the registration of a vehicle. Public safety agency means a functional unit of a public agency that provides fire fighting, law enforcement, ambulance, medical, or other emergency services, including but not limited to entities such as a local police department, an office of a county sheriff, a local emergency medical service provider, a local fire department, and the division of state patrol of the department of public safety. A person may elect to contribute to more than one public safety agency if each agency receives at least $1.
