Creating the state department of natural resources' Smokey Bear special license plates.
HB 1421 creates a new Smokey Bear special license plate for Washington vehicles, with an initial fee of $40 and an annual renewal fee of $30. The plate features Smokey Bear's name, image, and wildfire prevention messages, and will be issued by the Department of Natural Resources under existing license plate regulations. This procedural bill adds the plate to Washington's existing special license plate options without altering other policy provisions.
