Amended the State Highway Fund statutes to include the new administration fees and donations from the distracted driving plates as separate line items.
Added new eligibility criteria allowing the private entity that paid the implementation fee to design the special plates, subject to departmental approval.
Added a new statute (28-2470.40) defining the fund, its administration, and the specific mission goals for the recipient non-profit organization.
Updated the definition of 'highway user revenues' to explicitly exclude the special plate administration fees and donations associated with the new distracted driving plates.
