House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the establishment of a specialty license plate known as the "PANS/PANDAS" plate, aimed at raising awareness for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. The bill mandates the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, office of motor vehicles, to create this plate, contingent upon receiving a minimum of 1,000 applications. The plate will be available for passenger cars, pickup trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and vans, and its design will be developed in collaboration with a local artist and community representatives.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that an annual royalty fee of $25 will be collected for the issuance of the plate, alongside a handling fee of $3.50 to cover administrative costs. The proceeds from these fees will be deposited into the state general fund. The secretary of the department is also tasked with promulgating necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions of the bill. Overall, this legislation aims to promote awareness of PANS/PANDAS while generating funds for the state.
