House Bill 2627 amends provisions of the Transportation Code authorizing the Texas Department of Transportation to continue to issue license plates for a particular institution of higher education or professional sports team only if before September 1, 2004, a certain number of sets of license plates for the institution or sports team were issued or presold. The bill decreases from 1,500 to 800 the number of license plate sets required to be issued or presold for the continued issuance of a collegiate license plate and provides that the required number of sets for the continued issuance of a professional sports team license plate is 1,900, rather than 3,500. The bill also decreases the amount of money from the issuance of these license plates that must be received or deposited with the department before that date. Additionally, the bill lowers requirements in connection with the provision mandating a certain number of applications for license plate sets or a specified deposit amount to accompany a request to the department for manufacture of specialty license plates authorized by law after January 1, 1999.
