The bill proposes the establishment of special license plates in Washington State to support working forests, amending existing laws related to special license plates, specifically RCW 46.17.220, 46.18.200, and 46.68.420. A new section will be added to chapter 46.04 RCW, introducing a "Working forests" license plate with an initial fee of $40.00 and a renewal fee of $30.00. The plate will feature an image representing working forests, and the funds generated will be allocated to the Washington tree farm program, which assists small forest landowners in sustainably managing over 400,000 acres of private forestland. The bill aims to enhance awareness and support for working forests while providing a new funding source through vehicle registration fees.

In addition to the new license plate, the bill amends existing provisions regarding the disbursement of funds from special license plate accounts, particularly those linked to the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners. It mandates that at least 90 percent of the funds from the Seattle Seahawks account be allocated for fellowships under the Washington world fellows program, while a similar requirement is set for the Seattle Mariners account, directing funds towards services for youth in the sports mentoring program. The bill also defines "working forests license plates" and outlines the criteria for "qualified nonprofit organizations" to receive funding. The act is scheduled to take effect on November 1, 2025.
