HB 466 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Birthplace of American Independence Special Plate.

HB 466 creates a special license plate for North Carolina vehicle owners commemorating the 1776 Halifax Resolves, the first official colonial resolution supporting independence. The plate features a blue background with a feather pen logo and "Birthplace of American Independence" text, with a $30 annual fee added to registration. Proceeds are split: $10 goes to the Special Registration Plate Account and $20 to the Collegiate and Cultural Attraction Plate Account, with the latter's funds for this plate specifically directed to Halifax County for 250th-anniversary events. This is a commemorative plate option, not a policy change affecting laws or regulations.
