SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Public Affairs substitute for Senate Bill 284 directs TRD’s motor vehicle division (MVD)
to establish and issue special license plates with a logo promoting awareness about the urgent
need for organ and tissue donation in New Mexico. MVD shall determine the design of the logo
in consultation with New Mexico donor services and other organizations with the purpose of
promoting organ and tissue donation and education. There will be a one-time fee of $10 for this
special plate, in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fees.

Significant Issues
MVD will retain the revenues from the one-time fee and those revenues will be appropriated to
MVD for manufacture and issuance of the special plates. It is not clear if the ten dollar fee will
generate adequate revenue to cover manufacturing and issuing costs.
