This bill establishes a new category of special license plates for ice fishing in Minnesota, designated as "ice fishing special plates." The commissioner is required to issue these plates to applicants who meet specific criteria, including being a registered owner of certain types of vehicles, paying applicable fees, and contributing to the Keep It Clean account. The bill outlines the design process for the plates, which will involve consultation with representatives from Keep It Clean MN, and allows for the transfer of these plates to another qualified vehicle owned by the same individual for a fee.

Additionally, the bill specifies that contributions made for the special plates will be deposited into the Keep It Clean account, which is established within the special revenue fund. The funds will be appropriated to the commissioner of public safety, with the first allocation covering the costs of administering the account, while the remaining funds will support initiatives aimed at reducing waste on ice. The provisions of this bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, for special plates issued on or after that date.
