House Bill No. 1487 amends Oklahoma's laws regarding special license plates by introducing several new plates that support various organizations, schools, and causes. Notable additions include the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium License Plate, The Church Studio License Plate, and the Ralph Ellison Foundation License Plate. The bill outlines the design and issuance process for these plates, which will be managed by Service Oklahoma, and establishes a fee structure of $15 per year for each plate, with specific allocations for the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund and other designated funds. The bill also maintains existing regulations that prevent the transfer of special license plates and require annual renewals.

Furthermore, the bill extends the registration of motor vehicles through June 30, 2025, and specifies that licensed operator fees for processing applications will be covered by the Service Oklahoma Reimbursement Fund until that date. It mandates that at least one hundred prepaid applications must be received within 180 days for new plates to be issued, with refunds provided if this threshold is not met. The legislation aims to promote awareness and financial support for various initiatives through the sale of specialty license plates, while ensuring compliance with existing regulations.
