Introduced Text

Rhode Island H8559 authorizes special license plates for the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association, with fees supporting the association and Rhode.

Rhode Island H8559 empowers the Division of Motor Vehicles to offer special license plates for the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association. Owners of these plates will pay a $40 issuance fee and a $10 renewal fee. The $20 from each issuance fee goes to the state's general fund, and the other $20 goes to the association. The association must use Rhode Island-sourced funds for Rhode Island-based charities. The association must also submit an annual accounting report before funds are distributed. There are no refunds for early cancellation of these plates.
