AI Generated Summary

The bill proposes changes related to special license plates called "blackout plates" in Minnesota. It modifies the criteria and increases the fees for obtaining these plates. To get a blackout plate, a person must:

  1. Be a registered owner of eligible vehicles such as passenger cars, small trucks, motorcycles, or recreational vehicles.
  2. Pay the standard fee for special license plates.
  3. Pay the regular vehicle registration tax.
  4. Cover any additional fees required by law.
  5. Make an annual contribution of at least $30 to the driver and vehicle services operating account (this is a new or increased amount).
  6. Make an annual donation of at least $20 to the Minnesota 100 Club account (also a new or increased amount).
  7. Adhere to all applicable vehicle registration and driver licensing laws.

These changes aim primarily to adjust the way funds are raised from the issuance of these special license plates, altering the amounts directed to certain organizational accounts.
