This bill establishes a new category of special license plates in Minnesota, specifically for aviation enthusiasts. Under the proposed law, the commissioner is required to issue aviation special plates to applicants who own certain types of vehicles, including passenger automobiles, noncommercial one-ton pickup trucks, motorcycles, or recreational vehicles, and who meet specific criteria such as paying the required fees and taxes. The design of these plates will include the inscription "Aviation," and the commissioner will consult with relevant associations to finalize the design.

Additionally, the bill allows for the transfer of these special plates to another qualifying vehicle owned by the same individual, provided a transfer fee of $5 is paid. It also exempts these special plates from certain regulations outlined in existing law. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
