Additionally, the bill establishes a one-time initial application fee of $10, along with an annual fee of $15 for each plate, which will be deposited into the State Road Fund.

The bill also outlines specific requirements for registration plates, such as the use of reflectorized material and the readability of registration numbers from a distance. It allows the commissioner to suspend registrations for damaged or illegible plates and includes provisions for accepting electronic signatures in compliance with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Overall, the bill aims to promote autism awareness through the issuance of these special plates while ensuring compliance with existing registration requirements.
