The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code by adding a new section, 811kk, which mandates the development and issuance of a fund-raising license plate by the Secretary of State. This plate is intended to support charitable golf initiatives that benefit youth, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and families facing financial barriers. The design of the plate will be created in collaboration with representatives from the Golf Association of Michigan Foundation and the Michigan Golf Alliance.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Golf Association of Michigan Foundation fund within the state treasury, allowing the state treasurer to receive and manage funds for this purpose. The treasurer will oversee the investment of the fund and ensure that any unspent money at the end of the fiscal year remains in the fund. Proceeds from the sale of the fund-raising plates will be transferred to this fund, which will be disbursed quarterly to support various initiatives related to golf, including educational and career pathways, while also promoting environmental stewardship and community engagement.
