SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Special license plates; supporters of certain programs for expectant mothers.  Authorizes the issuance of special "revenue sharing" license plates bearing the legend: CHOOSE LIFE. These plates would be subject to an annual fee of $25 in addition to the prescribed fee for state license plates.  For each such $25 fee collected in excess of 1,000 registrations, $15 would be paid annually to the locality in which the vehicle is registered and distributed to nongovernmental, not-for-profit agencies that provide counseling and other services intended to meet the needs of expectant mothers who are committed to placing their children for adoption.  No funds under this bill would be distributed to any agency that is involved or associated with abortion activities, including, but not necessarily limited to, counseling for or referrals to abortion clinics, providing medical abortion-related procedures, or pro-abortion advertising.  No funds under this bill would be distributed to any agency that charges for services received.
