SB 22-190

Senate Bill 22-190, which has been signed into law, allows current and former members of the United States Space Force to get a special license plate. To qualify for this plate, individuals need to pay an extra $50 on top of regular fees ($25 goes to highway maintenance and $25 to licensing services). The bill also allocates funds from the state’s general fund and license plate cash fund to cover administrative costs related to implementing the new license plate program. This means that serving members and veterans of the U.S. Space Force can now display their service proudly on their vehicles with a unique license plate, funded partly by those who choose this option and partly by the state.

Official Summary

The act creates a United States Space Force license plate. To qualify for the license plate, a person must be a serving member or veteran of the United States Space Force. In addition to the normal fees for a license plate, a person must pay 2 one-time fees of $25 for the issuance of the plate. The fees are credited to the highway users tax fund and the licensing services cash fund, respectively. To implement the act, $23,278 is appropriated from the general fund and license plate cash fund to the department of revenue for use by the division of motor vehicles. Of the amount appropriated to the department of revenue, $2,426 is reappropriated to the office of the governor for use by the office of information technology to provide information technology services for the department.
