The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6828, aims to amend chapter 246 of the general statutes to establish a new initiative for the issuance of commemorative number plates that promote awareness of pollinator pathways. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles create a specific design for these plates, which will serve to highlight the significance of pollinators in the ecosystem.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that a fee will be charged for the issuance of these commemorative plates. This fee is intended to cover the administrative costs associated with the plates and to provide funding for organizations within the state that focus on conserving and promoting native plants, as well as educating the public about the effects of pesticides. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance public awareness regarding pollinator pathways and support related conservation efforts.
