S 4471 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes creation of special license plate honoring Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta.

This bill authorizes New Jersey to create special license plates featuring Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, available to vehicle owners who pay a $50 application fee and a $10 annual renewal fee. After covering administrative costs, the collected fees are deposited into a dedicated fund that annually provides funding to support both organizations' missions and programs. The program requires Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta to cover initial costs (up to $25,000) through private donations and submit 500 applications before implementation. If the average cost per plate exceeds $50 for two consecutive years, the license plate program may be discontinued, and it expires if required conditions aren't met within 12 months.
