AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES

SB 592 authorizes the creation of a special motor vehicle registration plate for the nonprofit organization Real Access Motivates Progress. Drivers can choose to purchase and display this specific plate, which replaces their standard registration plate. The bill establishes a $40 surcharge for the initial issuance of these plates, with $20 going to the state's general fund and $20 to the charity to support accessibility programs. Subsequent annual renewals include a $10 surcharge that goes directly to Real Access Motivates Progress, which is required to use these funds for Rhode Island-based charitable organizations.
