This bill proposes the creation of a Donate Life special license plate in Minnesota. It outlines the following key provisions:

1. Issuance of Plates: The Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation must issue special Donate Life plates to eligible applicants who own certain types of vehicles, pay applicable fees, and contribute at least $25 annually to the organ and tissue donation account.

2. Design: The plates will feature a nationally standard organ, eye, and tissue donation logo along with the inscription "Donate Life."

3. Plate Transfer: Owners can transfer these plates to another qualified vehicle registered in their name by applying to the commissioner and paying a $5 transfer fee.

4. Exemption: These plates are exempt from specific existing regulations under section 168.1293, subdivision 2.

5. Fund Allocation: Annual contributions made by plate applicants will be deposited into the organ and tissue donation account, a special revenue fund. After covering administrative costs, remaining funds will be allocated to LifeSource, a nonprofit organization that works on organ, eye, and tissue donation initiatives, including maintaining donation registries, education, and outreach.

Purpose:

The bill aims to promote organ and tissue donation awareness while generating funds to support donation programs in Minnesota.
