What This Bill Does

Allows Alabama motorcycle owners to obtain a special 'Breast Cancer Research' license plate by applying to the appropriate issuing official, meeting registration requirements, and paying an additional $50 annual fee. The plate is valid for five years and can be renewed or replaced with conventional, personalized, or new 'Breast Cancer Research' plates; design is created by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama and must be approved by the Commissioner of Revenue. The $50 annual fee is distributed according to existing state rules, with the Foundation's portion used to fund breast cancer research in Alabama, and the plate exists only while the Foundation qualifies for the distinctive plate category.

Who It Affects
  • Alabama motorcycle owners who want the special Breast Cancer Research plate, who must pay the additional $50 annual fee and comply with registration laws; the plate is issued for five years.
  • The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama, which designs the plate and receives a portion of the annual fee to fund breast cancer research in Alabama.
Key Provisions
  • Creates the distinctive 'Breast Cancer Research' motorcycle license plate, requires an additional $50 annual fee, sets a five-year validity, and requires the Foundation to design the plate with approval by the Commissioner of Revenue.
  • Keeps the annual fee distribution tied to Section 32-6-68, with the Foundation's portion used for breast cancer research in Alabama and issuance contingent on the Foundation remaining eligible for the distinctive plate category.
