Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Section 2E of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2020 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting after subsection (d) the following subsection:-

(e) The registrar shall furnish, upon application, to the owners of private passenger motor vehicles distinctive registration plates which shall display on the face a design indicating support for the arts. Such a design shall be selected through a contest to be judged by the Massachusetts Cultural Council or their designees. There shall be a fee of not less than $50 dollars for such plates in addition to the established registration fee for private passenger motor vehicles, which shall be payable at the time of registration of the vehicle and at each renewal thereof. The portion of the total fee remaining after the deduction of costs directly attributable to the issuance of such plates shall be transferred within ninety days of receipt thereof to the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
