Creating the state department of natural resources' Smokey Bear special license plates.
SB 5320 creates a new Smokey Bear special license plate for Washington vehicle owners, featuring Smokey Bear imagery and wildfire prevention messaging. The plate requires an initial fee of $40 and a $30 renewal fee, listed as plate type #29 under existing Washington state law (RCW 46.68.425). This procedural bill adds the Smokey Bear plate to the state's existing special license plate options, directly affecting vehicle owners who choose to purchase it for their vehicles.
