A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT to authorize the division of motor vehicles to produce a motorcycle plate for civic clubs such as the Jaycees, masons, Kiwanis, Optimist, Rotary, Ruritan, and Shrine.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 20‑79.4(27) reads as rewritten:

"(27)    Civic Club. – Issuable to a member of a nationally recognized civic organization whose member clubs in the State are exempt from State corporate income tax under G.S. 105‑130.11(a)(5). Examples of these clubs include Jaycees, Kiwanis, Optimist, Rotary, Ruritan, and Shrine. The plate shall bear a word or phrase identifying the civic club and the emblem of the civic club. A person may obtain from the Division a special registration plate under this subdivision for the registered owner of a motor vehicle or a motorcycle. The registration fees and the restrictions on the issuance of a specialized registration plate for a motorcycle are the same as for any motor vehicle. The Division may not issue a civic club plate authorized by this subdivision unless it receives at least 300 applications for that civic club plate."

SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
