CHAPTER 184
An Act to authorize the issuance of revenue-sharing special license plates for registered nurses.
Approved March 9, 2007
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. On receipt of an application and payment of the fee prescribed by this act, and upon written evidence that the applicant is a registered nurse, and following the provisions of § 46.2-725 of the Code of Virginia other than those relating to the fee for the plates and its disposition, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles shall issue to the applicant special license plates for registered nurses.
The annual fee for plates issued pursuant to this act shall be $25 in addition to the prescribed fee for state license plates. For each such $25 fee collected in excess of 1,000 registrations pursuant to this act, $15 shall be paid into the state treasury and credited to a special nonreverting fund known as the Registered Nurses Fund established within the Department of Accounts. These funds shall be paid annually to the Virginia Nurses Association Foundation and used by the Foundation to support initiatives to alleviate Virginia's nursing shortage. All other fees imposed under the provisions of this section shall be paid to, and received by, the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and paid by him into the state treasury and set aside as a special fund to be used to meet the necessary expenses incurred by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
