SB 95-LICENSE PLATES: SPECIALTY ORGANIZATIONS 4:17:55 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI reconvened the meeting and announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 95 "An Act relating to special request specialty organization registration plates; and providing for an effective date." 4:18:15 PM SENATOR KELLY MERRICK, District L, speaking as sponsor of SB 95, introduced the legislation speaking to the following sponsor statement. Each year, the Legislature is tasked with approving a specialty plate for the various organizations and nonprofits that request plates. As of now, there are at least forty-two license plates that can be purchased at the Division of Motor Vehicles. Since 2003, the Legislature has passed nine bills that authorized specialty license plates. In some cases, multiple pieces of specialty plate legislation were rolled into one bill. For example, in the 27th Legislature, four bills were rolled into one bill that authorized six different plates. Senate Bill 95 was introduced to remove the Legislature from approving specialty plates. Under this legislation, responsibility would be turned over to the Division of Motor Vehicles. Streamlining the process for both the legislature and the (DMV). The division would adopt regulations to allow for issuance of specialty plates sponsored by tax exempt organizations based within the state or Departments of the state, or a municipality within the state. 4:19:38 PM KERRY CROCKER, Staff, Senator Kelly Merrick, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, presented the sectional analysis for SB 95. Section 1: Creates a new subsection in the Motor Vehicle statutes, AS 28.10 181, to require the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to adopt regulations allowing for the issuance of specialty organization license plates sponsored by charitable and government organizations within Alaska. Section 2: Adds a new paragraph to AS 28.10.421 that sets the fees for new plates and allows for other fees. Section 3: Provides an effective date of January 1, 2024 SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI commented that it was an efficiency bill and he appreciated the sponsor bringing it forward. CHAIR KAWASAKI agreed that it created efficiency and was good government. He asked the sponsor to comment on the license plate she brought to the meeting. 4:21:39 PM SENATOR MERRICK explained that she brought the specialty license plate her mother used on all her vehicles. It had her initials that spelled the word CAR. 4:22:29 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI opened public testimony on SB 95; finding none, he closed public testimony. He noted who was available to answer questions. SENATOR WIELECHOWSKI asked whether DMV had a position or any thoughts on how to improve the bill. 4:23:10 PM JEFFREY SCHMITZ, Director, Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), Department of Administration (DOA), Anchorage, Alaska, stated that DMV was neutral on SB 95 and he had no comments on the legislation. 4:23:51 PM CHAIR KAWASAKI held SB 95 in committee for future consideration.
