The bill amends Section 1135.5 of the Oklahoma Statutes to establish the Route 66 Centennial License Plate, which will be designed in consultation with the Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial Commission. It allows for the issuance of both vehicle and motorcycle plates, with a licensing agreement requiring a payment of no more than $20 for each motorcycle plate issued. Proceeds from the sale of these plates will support the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum. The bill also outlines the process for the renewal and transfer of special license plates, specifying that they are non-transferable and must be removed upon ownership transfer.

In addition to the Route 66 plates, the bill reauthorizes various specialty license plates that support specific organizations and causes, such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Oklahoma Veterans of Foreign Wars. Each plate will be designed in consultation with the respective organization, with a maximum payment of $20 for each plate issued, except for the Greenwood Historical District License Plate, which allocates $27. The fee structure for these plates includes a $35 annual renewal fee, with funds allocated to designated revolving funds and other existing laws. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, with an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
