The bill, known as the Senator Michael A. Figures Act, amends Section 32-6-300 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to establish new design requirements for the "Helping Schools" license plates. The updated design will feature a white background with the words "Helping Schools" in red lettering, accompanied by images of a red apple, green book, and yellow ruler. Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement for the State Department of Revenue to design the plates, instead mandating that the design comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that for the registration year beginning January 1, 2027, individuals who possess a "Helping Schools" plate purchased or renewed between March 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026, will receive a new plate that meets the updated design requirements at no cost. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
