SB 781 creates a special Upper Peninsula vehicle registration plate that drivers can choose instead of standard plates. Vehicle owners pay additional fees ($25 for new plates, $10 for renewals) that fund a dedicated grant program. The money supports Upper Peninsula projects focused on commerce, arts, and history through grants administered by the newly created Upper Peninsula Board. The bill establishes the Board (appointed by the governor) to manage grants and a Plate Commission to design the special plate, with funds disbursed annually starting September 2028.
