SF 151: Relating to motor vehicle special registration plate decals created by a nonprofit veterans’ organization or associated with military service, and providing fees

What it does

Under current law, the department of transportation (DOT) is authorized to issue special registration plates with a space to display an organization decal. The DOT does not issue the organization decal. Instead, the organization is responsible for producing, administering, and issuing the decal. An organization must submit an application to the DOT for approval to issue a decal. An application must include proof of eligibility to issue the decal, a color copy of the completed decal design, a clear and concise explanation of the purpose of the decal, all eligibility requirements for purchasing the decal, and the fees to be charged for the decal.
