Grandparent special license plate establishment provision and appropriation
This bill creates a new special license plate in Minnesota for grandparents, requiring them to pay a standard registration fee plus an additional $35 contribution annually. The plates will feature baby footprints and the text "Minnesota proud grandparents," and can be transferred to another vehicle owned by the same person if they meet the eligibility requirements. All $35 contributions collected from plate holders will be deposited into a food shelf support account, with funds used to administer the program and provide grants for food shelf programs. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2027, for plates issued on or after that date.
