Relating to: special registration plates with white lettering on a black background. (FE)

SB 9 creates a new special vehicle registration plate option in Wisconsin featuring a black background with white lettering displaying "Wisconsin" and the vehicle's registration number. It requires a voluntary $25 fee for issuance or renewal (with $50 for biennial plates in the first year), after which the Department of Transportation retains up to $23,700 for initial production costs, depositing any remaining funds into the transportation fund. This plate design is specifically for Wisconsin residents who choose to purchase it, distinct from existing military, sports, or university plate programs. The bill does not change existing plate categories but adds this new visual option with a dedicated fee structure.
