Creating the donate life special license plate.
SB 5524 creates a new "Donate Life" special license plate option for Washington vehicle owners. The bill adds this plate to the state's existing special plate program, requiring a $40 initial fee and $30 annual renewal fee. Vehicle owners who choose this plate will display a "Donate Life" logo, with fees supporting related causes as specified in the plate description. This is a procedural change that expands the current list of special license plate options without altering registration requirements or creating new administrative processes.
