An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, providing for arts registration plate; in fees, further providing for payments to special funds; and establishing the Arts Promotion Fund.

HB 48 creates a special "arts" vehicle registration plate in Pennsylvania for $41 extra per year (on top of standard fees), available for passenger cars, motor homes, trailers, and trucks under 14,000 pounds. The $15 portion of this fee is dedicated to the newly established Arts Promotion Fund. This fund, managed by the Council on the Arts, provides grants for arts programs, with spending estimates requiring Governor approval. The bill directly affects vehicle owners who choose the arts plate and supports arts funding through a dedicated revenue stream.
