Assemblymember presents AB 1091 to create 8-letter specialty license plates to support rural programs
Summary
AB 1091, presented for information, would authorize 8-letter specialty license plates and dedicate proceeds to rural programs such as Williamson Act subventions; presenter cited a stakeholder estimate of the specialty-license market’s large economic footprint.
Assemblymember Gallagher presented AB 1091 as a presentation-only item, describing an idea to authorize 8-character specialty license plates and use the revenue to support rural programs such as Williamson Act subventions. Gallagher said the concept was championed by the late Congressman Doug LaMalfa and that stakeholders, including the Department of Justice, indicated no operational issue for license-plate readers. Gallagher cited a stakeholder figure for the specialty-license market in California and asked the committee to support the idea when it appears on the suspense file.
The committee took the presentation for the record; no formal motion was taken on AB 1091 at this time. Gallagher asked for the committee’s support when the bill returns on the suspense file.
