Additionally, it establishes an annual renewal fee of $35, with specific allocations for the collected fees, including $20 directed to a designated fund and $8 to the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund until June 30, 2023, after which it will be redirected.
The bill also streamlines the application and renewal process for special license plates, ensuring effective management by Service Oklahoma. It includes provisions for personalized license plates and emphasizes collaboration with organizations to ensure that designs reflect their missions. The legislation aims to enhance community support for various causes while providing individuals with a means to express their affiliations through vehicle registration.
