Snowmobile special license plates establishment and appropriation

SF 3028 establishes special license plates for snowmobile owners in Minnesota. To obtain these plates, applicants must be registered owners of qualifying vehicles (like passenger cars or motorcycles), pay standard fees plus additional annual contributions to a snowmobile trails account, and meet other registration requirements. The funds collected under this bill are specifically appropriated to the Department of Natural Resources for developing, maintaining, and grooming snowmobile trails. This bill takes effect January 1, 2026, for new plates issued on or after that date.
