The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 528, aims to amend chapter 246 of the general statutes by requiring the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to provide quarterly reports to the joint standing committee of the General Assembly that oversees transportation matters. These reports will detail two key aspects: the total funds collected from the issuance of special number plates, which are fees in addition to the standard registration fees for motor vehicles, and the administrative costs associated with issuing these plates. Additionally, the reports will outline how the collected funds were utilized.
This legislative initiative seeks to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the financial aspects of special number plate issuance. By mandating regular reporting, the bill ensures that the General Assembly is informed about both the revenue generated from these special plates and the expenditures related to them, thereby promoting responsible management of funds within the transportation sector.
