10/11/06-Alabama motorists soon will have a new way to show their patriotism with new commemorative license plates.
The Alabama Legislature’s License Plate Oversight Committee voted unanimously Oct. 10 to approve the sale of “Support Our Troops” license plates.
The tags honoring soldiers will not be issued until at least 1,000 motorists sign up. The plates will cost an additional $50 annually on top of existing fees.
Most of the fee will go to a committee to disburse to Alabama military families, including the National Guard and Reserves, The Associated Press reported.
