This bill establishes a new conservation-themed license plate called the "Love NH Lakes" number plate, which will feature a design prominently displaying a loon on a lake. The issuance of these special plates will require an additional fee of $30, which will be added to the standard 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, which is established under RSA 485-A:61. The bill includes provisions for the commercial use of the plate design, with any royalties or proceeds also being deposited into the same fund.

Additionally, the bill amends RSA 485-A:61 to include the revenue from the "Love NH Lakes" number plates as a source of funding for the cyanobacteria mitigation loan and grant fund. This ensures that funds from the sale of these plates will contribute to efforts aimed at addressing cyanobacteria issues in New Hampshire's lakes. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage. The fiscal impact of the bill is currently indeterminable, as it is unclear how many plates will be sold or what the associated costs will be for production and administration.
