Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to design, prepare and issue special license plates that indicate support for the Divine Nine, which are a group of historically Black collegiate fraternities and sororities. (NRS 482.37941) Existing law requires the fees collected for the special license plates that are in addition to all other applicable registration and license fees and governmental services taxes to be deposited with the State Treasurer, who must, on a quarterly basis, distribute: (1) 10 percent of the fees to the United Negro College Fund; and (2) the remaining 90 percent of the fees equally among certain chapters or organizations associated with the Divine Nine for the promotion of community awareness and action through educational, economic and cultural service activities within this State. (NRS 482.37941) This bill removes the requirement for the State Treasurer to make distributions to certain chapters or organizations associated with the Divine Nine and, instead, requires that all of the fees collected for the special license plates that are in addition to all other applicable registration and license fees and governmental service taxes be distributed to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Inter-Alumni Council of the United Negro College Fund.
