Authorizes creation of Juneteenth commemorative license plates.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A617 authorizes the creation of Juneteenth commemorative license plates for vehicle owners in the state. The bill requires a $50 initial application fee and $10 annual renewal fee (in addition to standard registration costs), with all collected funds deposited into a "Juneteenth License Plate Fund" managed by the New Jersey Historical Commission. This fund must be used to commemorate Juneteenth, and the program cannot launch until the Historical Commission secures $25,000 in private funding and provides 500 pre-orders for the plates. The plates must display commemorative wording/emblems and are subject to standard vehicle registration rules.
