MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Directs the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections to imprint "America 250" on license plates for private passenger motor vehicles
This bill directs the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to add "America 250" to license plates for private passenger vehicles. The legislation amends a previous proposal by removing the Senate committee's amendments to finalize the design change. It affects vehicle owners by altering the appearance of their license plates to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States. The measure is a procedural update to ensure the correct text is included on the commemorative plates.
