This bill establishes a new conservation license plate called the "Love NH Lakes" number plate, which will feature a design prominently displaying a loon on a lake and will retain the "live free or die" logo. The issuance of these special plates will require an additional fee of $30, which will be collected alongside the regular motor vehicle registration fees. The bill also allows for vanity versions of the plate, with fees structured similarly. The revenue generated from these plates, after covering production and administrative costs, will be directed to the cyanobacteria mitigation loan and grant fund, as specified in the amendments to RSA 485-A:61.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the commercial use of the plate design, allowing the commissioner of safety to enter into contracts for this purpose, with any royalties or proceeds also being deposited into the cyanobacteria mitigation fund. The bill amends existing law to include the revenue from the "Love NH Lakes" number plates as a source of funding for the cyanobacteria mitigation loan and grant fund. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
