Modifying the fee disposition for the Seattle Sounders FC special license plate.
HB 1846 modifies how fees from Seattle Sounders FC special license plates are distributed. It redirects 70% of the remaining fees (after administrative costs) to the RAVE foundation, which uses soccer to support youth in underserved communities. The remaining 30% is capped at $40,000 annually (adjusted for inflation) and goes to the Washington state leadership board for educational and civic programs. This change updates the previous allocation that split funds between "Washington state mentors" and the leadership board. The bill does not alter the fee amount or create new requirements for the license plate.
