Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� a.� Upon proper 
application, the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission 
shall issue Borinqueneers license plates for any motor vehicle owned or leased 
and registered in this State.� In addition to the registration number and other 
markings or identification otherwise prescribed by law, the license plates 
shall display the words �The Borinqueneers� along with an image or other 
pictorial designation of the 65th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army.� 
The chief administrator shall, in consultation with the Commissioner of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs, select the design and color scheme of the Borinqueneers 
license plates.� The Borinqueneers license plates shall be subject to the 
provisions of chapter 3 of Title 39 of the Revised Statutes, except as 
hereinafter otherwise provided.

���� b.��� Application for issuance 
of Borinqueneers license plates shall be made to the chief administrator on 
forms and in a manner prescribed by the chief administrator.� To be deemed 
complete, an application shall be accompanied by a fee of $50, payable to the 
New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, which shall be in addition to the fees 
otherwise prescribed by law for the registration of a motor vehicle.� The chief 
administrator shall collect annually, subsequent to the year of issuance of the 
Borinqueneers license plates, a $10 fee for the license plates in addition to 
the fees otherwise prescribed by law for the registration of a motor vehicle.� 
The additional fees required by this subsection shall be deposited in the �Borinqueneers 
License Plate Fund� created pursuant to subsection c. of this section.

���� c.���� There is created in the 
Department of the Treasury a special non-lapsing fund to be known as the �Borinqueneers 
License Plate Fund.�� There shall be deposited in the fund the amount collected 
from all license plate fees collected pursuant to subsection b. of this 
section, less the amounts necessary to reimburse the commission for 
administrative costs pursuant to subsection d. of this section.� The monies 
deposited in the fund shall be appropriated annually to the Department of 
Veterans Affairs and shall be used to support programs benefiting veterans of 
the United States Army.

���� Monies deposited in the fund 
shall be held in interest-bearing accounts in public depositories, as defined 
pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1970, c.236 (C.17:9-41), and may be invested or 
reinvested in securities approved by the State Treasurer.� Interest or other 
income earned on monies deposited into the fund, and any monies that may be 
appropriated or otherwise become available for purposes of the fund, shall be 
credited to and deposited in the fund for use as set forth in P.L. , 
c. (C. ) 
(pending before the Legislature as this bill).

���� d.��� Prior to the deposit of 
the additional fees collected pursuant to subsection b. of this section into 
the �Borinqueneers License Plate Fund,� amounts thereof as are necessary shall 
be used to reimburse the commission for all costs reasonably and actually 
incurred, as stipulated by the chief administrator for:� 

���� (1)�� designing, producing, 
issuing, renewing, and publicizing the availability of the Borinqueneers 
license plates; and

���� (2)�� any computer programming 
changes that may be initially necessary to implement the Borinqueneers license 
plate program in an amount not to exceed $150,000.

���� The chief administrator shall 
annually certify to the State Treasurer the average cost per license plate 
incurred in the immediately preceding year by the commission in producing, 
issuing, renewing, and publicizing the availability of the Borinqueneers 
license plates.� The annual certification of the average cost per license plate 
shall be approved by the Joint Budget Oversight Committee or its successor.

���� If the average cost per 
license plate, as certified by the chief administrator and approved by the 
Joint Budget Oversight Committee or its successor, is greater than the $50 
application fee established in subsection b. of this section in two consecutive 
fiscal years, the chief administrator may discontinue the issuance of Borinqueneers 
license plates.
