Alpha Phi Alpha plates would need private funding and at least 500 applications

The Motor Vehicle Commission would issue the special plates. Owners and lessees of vehicles registered in New Jersey could apply. Organizers must supply private startup money and at least 500 completed applications with the initial plate fees. The program would start on the first day of the seventh month after both requirements are met. Authorization would expire if either remains unmet on the last day of the 12th month after enactment.

Plate fees left after agency costs would fund grants for Alpha Phi Alpha programs. Drivers choosing these plates would pay charges above their regular registration fees. Public money could not cover startup costs. A contributor chosen by the fraternity's Eastern Region must provide private startup money, capped at $25,000. The $50 fee would apply initially. The $10 fee would apply annually after the year the plates are issued.
