SB282
Create the American Motorcyclist Association license plate
Current Status: In House Committee (Transportation)
Summary
This bill creates a specialty license plate for the American Motorcyclist Association, allowing vehicle owners to apply for these plates and requiring a contribution of $15 to be deposited into a license plate contribution fund. The funds collected will be used to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and protect the future of motorcycling.
Rationale
The bill supports individual choice in vehicle registration and promotes a specific lifestyle, aligning with Libertarian principles of personal liberty. However, it involves government involvement in the issuance of specialty plates and the collection of fees, which may conflict with the Libertarian emphasis on minimal government intervention.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government control over vehicle registration processes.
- Creation of a precedent for more specialty plates that could lead to bureaucratic expansion.
