HF 2364 — Donate Life Special License Plates Established, and Money Appropriated

Overview

HF 2364 would create a new Donate Life specialty license plate in Minnesota and provide for the allocation of funds generated by the plate. The bill was introduced on March 13, 2025, and, at introduction, has been assigned to the Transportation Finance and Policy committee for consideration. A companion bill exists in the Senate, SF 3008.

What the Bill Would Do

  • Establish a Donate Life specialty (specialized) license plate option for Minnesota vehicle owners.
  • Provide for the appropriation of funds generated by the plate to support activities related to organ donation (e.g., donor awareness, education, or programs). The specific recipient(s) and the exact allocation details are not included in the information provided.

Key Provisions (as Available)

  • Creation of a new Donate Life license plate, replacing or supplementing standard license plates as determined by the bill.
  • Directing the revenues or specified proceeds from the plate toward designated programs or initiatives related to organ donation and donor awareness. The precise statutory language, including the amount, funding mechanism, and designated recipient agency or program, is not stated in the provided summary.
  • Administrative framework typically involves the Minnesota transportation or DMV-type agency responsible for license plates; however, exact administrative bodies and responsibilities are not detailed here.

Who Would Be Affected

  • Minnesota vehicle owners who opt to purchase or renew the Donate Life specialty license plate.
  • Departments or divisions within the state government responsible for motor vehicles and license plates (e.g., the transportation department/agency that administers license plates).
  • Donor education and organ donation programs that could receive funds generated by the plate, subject to final allocations.

Fiscal, Administrative, and Timeline Details

  • No specific dollar amounts, fee structures, or funding formulas are provided in the summary.
  • The bill is in its introductory stage and has been referred to the Transportation Finance and Policy committee, indicating it will undergo hearings and potential amendments before a floor vote.
  • Timelines beyond introduction and first reading are not provided; typical next steps include committee deliberations, potential amendments, passage in the House, Senate consideration of the companion SF 3008, and, if enacted, action by the governor.

Relation to Related Legislation

  • Companion Bill: SF 3008 (Senate). This suggests parallel consideration in the Senate and potential alignment of provisions between the two chambers.

Next Steps

  • Monitor committee hearings and any fiscal notes or amendments.
  • Compare HF 2364 with SF 3008 for consistency and any differences in funding or administration.
  • Await potential passage by both houses and potential signature into law.
