Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2461 amends the Transportation Code to require the discontinuance of certain specialized license plates if the Texas Department of Public Safety does not make a minimum number of sales or receive at least $15,000 for making the plates. It provides that the department may manufacture specialized plates authorized by law after January 1, 1999, only if it receives a $15,000 deposit or applications and fees for 3,500 plates. The act directs the department to issue a 100th football season of Stephen F. Austin High School license plate and a waterfowl and wetland conservation license plate and lowers the fees for the Keep Texas Beautiful license plates. It also extends the deadline for the deposit of $500,000 to the animal friendly account from 2001 to 2004.
