The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 528, seeks 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 special plates. Furthermore, the reports will outline how the collected funds have been expended.

The intent of this legislation is to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the financial aspects of special number plate issuance. By mandating these quarterly reports, the bill aims to ensure that the funds generated from special number plates are properly tracked and reported, thereby allowing for better oversight of their use.
