Senate OKs License Plate for Conservation

Posted:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A bill to authorize a fundraising license plate for a conservation group has won unanimous approval in the Michigan Senate.
    
Legislation passed Thursday would let drivers buy a "Ducks Unlimited" plate with proceeds going to the Michigan chapter of the wetlands and waterfowl conservation organization. The money could be used to restore and buy wetlands and pay for education and outreach regarding wetlands conservation.
    
The $15,000 startup cost to the secretary of state's office would be paid for by proceeds from the specialty plate.
    
The bill was sent to the House, which is considering a related measure. The state could stop issuing the plate if it doesn't issue at least 2,000 Ducks Unlimited plates in year one and at least 500 in future years.
