Committee clears specialty Jackson State University license plate bill
Summary
HB1073, by Representative Carter, would create a Jackson State University specialty license plate with proceeds to fund scholarships for Georgia students; the committee moved and passed the bill after the sponsor confirmed statutory pre‑sale and manufacturing requirements were met.
Representative Carter introduced HB1073 to authorize a specialty license plate for the Jackson State University Alumni Association Atlanta chapter. Carter said the revenue from the tag would fund scholarships for Georgia students attending Jackson State in Mississippi and that the sponsor group has satisfied state requirements such as the pre‑sale threshold or the $25,000 manufacturing guarantee.
A member moved and the committee voted 'aye' to pass the bill forward; the transcript records the motion, second and passage without a roll‑call tally.
Next steps: the bill advanced from the committee for further legislative consideration.
