What This Bill Does
The bill amends Section 32-6-523 to change who receives the net proceeds from selling the distinctive Realtor license plates. After subtracting administrative costs, including production costs by the Department of Corrections, the money will be distributed to the state Comptroller and then sent to the Alabama Realtors Foundation, instead of going to the Alabama Children's Trust Fund. This change means funds that were previously directed to the Children's Trust Fund will now support the Alabama Realtors Foundation. The new distribution takes effect on January 1, 2020.

Alabama Realtors Foundation — will receive net proceeds from sales of the distinctive license plates (after administrative costs).
