988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline special license plates established, and money appropriated.
This bill establishes special license plates in Minnesota that display the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline logo. To receive these plates, vehicle owners must pay standard registration fees, a specific plate fee, and contribute $25 to a dedicated safety account. The money collected from these contributions will fund lethal means safety tools like gun locks and safes, which can be distributed through nonprofit organizations to the public. The plates can be transferred to another vehicle owned by the same person, and the program becomes effective on January 1, 2027.
