This bill establishes a new special license plate program in Minnesota, specifically for curling enthusiasts, under the proposed section [168.1261] CURL IN MINNESOTA PLATES. The commissioner is required to issue these special plates to applicants who meet certain criteria, including being a registered owner of eligible vehicles, paying specified fees, and contributing a minimum of $30 annually to the Minnesota Curling Association account. The design of the plates will feature the inscription "Curl in Minnesota," developed in consultation with the Minnesota Curling Association. Additionally, the bill outlines provisions for transferring these special plates to another vehicle, provided the new vehicle is registered to the same individual and meets the eligibility criteria. Special plates issued under this program are exempt from certain existing regulations, and contributions collected will be deposited into a dedicated account for the Minnesota Curling Association, which will be used for maintaining curling facilities across the state. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
