New Jersey could issue childhood cancer awareness plates after funding and 500 applications

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission would issue childhood cancer awareness plates to eligible applicants. Owners or lessees of motor vehicles registered in New Jersey could apply. Applicants would pay $50 when applying and $10 each later year, on top of normal registration fees. Fee money left after commission costs would go each year to the New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research for childhood cancer research. Issuance would wait until the first day of the 13th month after the required private money and 500 paid applications arrive.

The commission could not start work on the plates until private startup money and at least 500 paid applications arrive. These requirements apply to the proposed childhood cancer awareness plates in New Jersey. State and other public funds could not cover the commission’s initial costs. The WITH Grace Initiative or its designee would provide private money in an amount set by the commission, up to $25,000. The initiative’s liaison would submit at least 500 completed applications with payment for the initial order. The rules would become operative on the first day of the 13th month after both steps are met. The plan would expire if they remain unmet by the last day of the 15th month after enactment.
