S 3488 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes special "We Support the Arts" license plates with proceeds to New Jersey State Council on Arts.

S 3488 authorizes New Jersey residents who own or lease vehicles to purchase special "We Support the Arts" license plates for a $50 one-time fee plus a $10 annual renewal fee. Proceeds from these fees - after covering administrative costs - are deposited into a dedicated "Support the Arts Fund" managed by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The fund directs all remaining money to the New Jersey State Council on the Arts to support arts programs across the state. This bill directly affects vehicle owners who choose to buy the specialty plates, creating a new revenue stream for arts funding without requiring state taxpayer money.
