Description

Under existing law, the Legislative Oversight Committee on License Plates oversees the process for approval and reissuance of certain distinctive license plates. Some distinctive license plates created by legislation currently fall outside the legislative oversight committee's scope of review.

This bill would provide that the reissuance of all distinctive license plates created by legislation shall be subject to the approval and oversight of the legislative oversight committee in accordance with the five-year reissuance and recertification provisions in existence for license plates authorized by the committee.

This bill would further provide for an initial application fee for a proposed distinctive license plate design equal to the cost of producing the distinctive license plate template not to exceed $100.

Also under existing law, the legislative oversight committee is prohibited from considering for approval applications for groups within high schools, junior colleges, universities, and technical schools, such as band and athletic boosters.

This bill would authorize the legislative oversight committee to approve groups within high schools, junior colleges, universities, and technical schools, including band boosters and athletic boosters, upon receiving approval from the group's affiliated school, college, or university.
