House Bill No. 1487 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding special license plates by introducing several new plates, including those for the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium, The Church Studio, Star Spencer High School, and the Ralph Ellison Foundation. The bill outlines the design and issuance process for these plates, requiring licensing agreements with the respective organizations that stipulate a payment of up to Twenty Dollars ($20.00) for each plate issued. Additionally, the bill establishes a fee structure for the specialty plates, set at Thirty-five Dollars ($35.00) per year for renewal, which includes allocations for various funds and administrative costs.

The bill also includes amendments to Sections 1135.3 and 1135.5 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which govern the issuance and renewal of special license plates. It emphasizes the importance of consultation with relevant organizations for the design of each plate and outlines provisions for the transfer and renewal of existing special license plates. Furthermore, the bill extends the registration of motor vehicles through June 30, 2025, and specifies that licensed operator fees for processing applications and renewals will be covered by the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund until that date. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the variety of special license plates available to Oklahoma residents while ensuring compliance with established regulations.
