The proposed bill establishes a new category of special license plates known as "Donate Life" plates in Minnesota. 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 an additional fee, and contributing a minimum of $10 annually to the Donate Life account. The bill outlines the design of the plates, which will incorporate Donate Life branding, and allows for the transfer of these plates to another vehicle under certain conditions. Additionally, the special plates are exempt from certain existing regulations.

Contributions collected from the issuance of these plates will be deposited into a newly established Donate Life account within the special revenue fund. The funds will be appropriated annually to cover administrative costs and to support the mission of promoting organ and tissue donation through the Donate Life organization. The provisions of this bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, for any Donate Life special plates issued after that date.
