They must be mainly collector items for shows, clubs, tours, parades, or occasional transportation—not daily travel. The definition also includes qualify… - Historical plate donors get allocation notices: benefit, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, the voluntary historical support plate contribution is $25.

Current owners can keep and renew discontinued plates without t… - More sponsored plates with contribution rules: mixed, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, Utah's sponsored plate program covers colleges, nonprofits, corporate brands, major league teams, and state support or recognition. Utah-based major league teams can request plates and direct voluntary contributions to charity or Utah's Transportation Fund. Voluntary contrib… - College plates can fund student payments: mixed, low. Beginning July 1, 2025, sponsoring colleges may set the contribution required to get their plates. These provisions set no dollar amount or limit. Colleges may use plate funds for academic scholarships or student-athlete payments for use of their name, image, or likeness. No student is guaranteed a… - Plate funds shift toward heritage funding: mixed, low. For July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, Utah transfers $3.5 million from the plate fund to the General Fund. That money must come from historical support plate funds. For the same budget year, the law separately provides a one-time $3.5 million General Fund appropriation to the Heritage and Arts F… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Val L.
