Authorizes creation of Juneteenth commemorative license plates.
This bill authorizes the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue special license plates commemorating Juneteenth for vehicles registered in the state. Owners who apply for these plates will pay an additional fee of $50 upon application and a $10 annual renewal fee, while the state covers the initial design and production costs up to $150,000. The money collected from these fees will be placed in a dedicated fund to support the New Jersey Historical Commission in planning and celebrating Juneteenth events. The bill also establishes a process for publicizing the plates and allows the commission to stop issuing them if costs exceed the fees in two consecutive years.
