Starting on Monday, those who want special license plates in Kentucky will need to be aware of some new requirements when purchasing one, following to passing of House Bill 341.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, at the end of December, the Division of Motor Vehicle Licensing will begin implementing House Bill 341’s modifications to two statutes governing special license plates – the state’s optional license plates manufactured for 44 approved non-profit organizations.
Motorists purchasing or renewing select special license plates at county clerk offices will be required to pay a $10 charitable donation to the organization represented on the requested plate. At the moment, those $10 donations are optional. The majority of special license plates created under KRS 186.162, such as military plates, university and collegiate plates and nature plates, already have a donation requirement that will not change.
New fees for the 29 special license plates, including the required $10 donation, will be $44 at initial purchase and $44 at annual registration renewal.
