AI Generated Summary

The legislative bill SF No. 432 in Minnesota proposes the creation of "Choose Life" special license plates. These plates will be available for various types of vehicles including passenger automobiles, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. Vehicle owners who wish to obtain these special plates must:

  1. Be registered owners of an eligible vehicle.
  2. Pay the special plate fees and other required fees.
  3. Contribute $25 initially upon application and a minimum of $25 annually to the Choose Life account.

The design of the license plates will feature the "Choose Life" logo and slogan. Money collected from these contributions will be deposited in the Choose Life account within the special revenue fund. The funds will primarily support the administrative costs related to the account and then be distributed to non-governmental, nonprofit agencies in each county. These agencies must assist pregnant women who are considering adoption plans for their children and must not be involved in any abortion-related activities. The funds must be used to help meet the material needs of these women and cannot be used for administrative expenses beyond a set limit or for legal or capital costs.

In summary, this bill aims to offer a specialized license plate option that also serves as a means to financially support specific nonprofit agencies focusing on adoption assistance.
