The bill amends Section 1135.5 of the Oklahoma Statutes to streamline the process for issuing special license plates by Service Oklahoma, which will now include plates supporting various organizations and causes such as universities, environmental initiatives, and community services. A key requirement introduced is that a minimum of one hundred prepaid applications must be received within 180 days for new special license plates authorized after July 1, 2004, or the authority to issue those plates will be nullified. Additionally, the bill mandates annual renewal for special license plates unless otherwise authorized. It also includes a specific insertion changing "Serve Oklahoma" to "Service Oklahoma" in relation to the Oklahoma State Parks Supporter License Plate.

Moreover, the bill repeals Section 1104.13, which relates to the Oklahoma Zoological Society Revolving Fund, and establishes provisions for licensing agreements between Service Oklahoma and various organizations for the use of their logos. Each plate will have a fee structure, with payments of up to $20 for each plate issued, and certain fees will be allocated to designated revolving funds, such as the Oklahoma Teacher Recruitment Revolving Fund. The bill aims to enhance community support and awareness for various causes through these specialized license plates, with the new provisions set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
