The bill establishes a new special registration plate for Trail Life USA, which will be available starting January 1, 2026. Vehicle owners can apply for this plate for an additional fee of $35, along with an annual renewal fee of $30. The revenue generated from these fees will be allocated to the department responsible for manufacturing the plates and to the state parks division for the development and maintenance of state parks and recreation areas.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows the department to cease the issuance of the Trail Life USA special registration plates if, starting July 1, 2031, the number of plates issued and renewed falls below 50% of the average annual issuance from 2026 to 2031. This measure ensures that the program remains viable and responsive to demand.
