This bill amends West Virginia Code §17A-3-14e to specify the allocation of fees collected from special agricultural-related license plates. It introduces a new provision stating that all fees collected for special license plates related to pollinators will be deposited into the Agriculture Fees Fund, as defined in §19-1-4c of the code. Additionally, it clarifies that fees collected for special license plates associated with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) and 4-H organizations will be deposited into their respective funds.
The bill also includes several deletions and re-numbering of existing subsections to streamline the language and clarify the process for issuing special registration plates. Notably, it maintains the requirement for organizations to collect a minimum number of applications and fees before production of the plates can begin, while allowing for a legislative waiver of this requirement. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the funding structure for agricultural initiatives by ensuring that specific fees are directed to appropriate funds.
