Hawaii HB364 creates a special number plate for vehicles to support the spaying and neutering of animals. The bill mandates that any cat over three months old must be sterilized unless exempted by a veterinarian. It also establishes a permit program for cat breeding, with requirements including microchipping and proof of health.

The special number plate fee includes a fundraising component to support the fund.
