The bill creates the epilepsy awareness license plate for motor
vehicles. The department of revenue must designate a nonprofit organization to qualify applicants for issuance of the license plate. The organization must:
•
Be headquartered in Colorado;
•
Have been in existence for at least 5 years;
•
Be a nonprofit organization;
•
Provide education to the public about epilepsy;
•
Offer programs for youth and adults with epilepsy; and
•
Fund services and support for those affected by epilepsy.
An applicant qualifies for issuance of the license plate if the
applicant makes a donation to the organization and pays all required taxes and fees. In addition to the standard motor vehicle fees, the applicant must pay 2 one-time fees of $25 for issuance of the license plate. One fee is credited to the highway users tax fund and the other to the licensing services cash fund.
