MODERATE
This bill converts a proposed special license plate program into official law, establishing a $25 annual fee for Virginia REALTORS. The revenue generated will fund disaster relief efforts in Virginia, with a specific portion of fees collected beyond a 1,000-plate threshold directed to a dedicated relief fund.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from a proposed legislative measure to an enacted statute, making the special license plates and associated fees legally effective.
FISCAL
Established a $25 annual fee for Virginia REALTORS special license plates, which is added to the standard state license plate fee.
Created a mechanism where $15 of every fee collected after the first 1,000 registrations goes to the Virginia REALTORS Disaster Relief Fund to assist with natural or manmade disasters.
TIMELINE
Confirmed that special license plates issued under the old section before July 1, 2026, remain valid and can be renewed under the new fee structure.
TECHNICAL
Changed the document status from 'Enrolled' (approved by the General Assembly) to 'Chaptered' (signed into law by the Governor), finalizing the bill's legal effect.
