The bill amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to enhance the wild resource conservation registration plate program. It introduces a standard wild resource conservation plate, which can be issued upon application and payment of a $35 fee, in addition to the annual registration fee. The Wild Resource Conservation Fund will receive $15 from each additional fee collected for these plates. Furthermore, the bill establishes a new design for the wild resource conservation plate featuring a saw-whet owl perched on a pine tree branch, with the phrase "Conserve Wild Resources" prominently displayed.
Additionally, the bill allows individuals to use a previously valid registration plate that has been discontinued, provided it meets specific design criteria and registration requirements. This change aims to promote conservation efforts while providing vehicle owners with more options for their registration plates. The act is set to take effect four months after its passage.
