Special license plates will require a $10 fee

BOWLING GREEN Ky.-Those purchasing special license plates will soon be required to pay a $10 fee.

Special license plates are plates that represent different organizations, including Alzheimer’s Awareness, Breast cancer awareness, and Autism awareness just to name a few.

Previously, getting these license plates gave the holder the option to donate $10 to that specific cause. Starting next year, that fee will be mandatory for those getting these special license plates.

Warren County Clerk Lynette Yates said this is a good opportunity for the state to do more to help these nonprofit organizations.

“We’ve always felt like if you’re supporting that organization, you need to support it from then on. We were glad to see that the law changed and that the $10 goes to that organization every time every year,” Yates said.

There are 29 special license plates that will fall under this category.
