Committee releases bill authorizing Delta Sigma Theta license plates
Summary
A1738, which would create Delta Sigma Theta sorority specialty license plates, was read and released after testimony from Morella McMillan Holmes, who highlighted the sorority’s history and membership in New Jersey.
The Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee voted to release Assembly bill A1738, which would authorize specialty license plates for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
Morella McMillan Holmes, identifying herself as president of the Trenton chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, testified in favor of the plates, saying they would recognize the sorority’s history and the state’s diversity. “We are a historic black sorority,” she told the committee, noting the organization’s 113‑year history and roughly 350,000 members internationally, including more than 2,000 in New Jersey.
Committee members posed no substantive objections. After brief conversation and a motion to release, the committee recorded votes in favor and released the bill for subsequent legislative consideration.
The bill does not appropriate funds; it authorizes a specialty plate design and the administrative steps required to issue the plate if adopted. The committee did not discuss any amendments at the hearing.
