OLYMPIA - Gov. Christine Gregoire has signed into law a bill sponsored by Rep. Judy Warnick to create license plates for the statewide 4-H program.
House Bill 2299 will allow the creation of plates that display the 4-H logo. Drivers who wish to purchase the plates will be charged $40 for new plates and $30 for the plate renewal in addition to the cost of standard license plates.
The Department of Licensing will collect the fees and deposit funds, after administrative expenses, into the newly created 4-H Programs Account in the state treasury.
Warnick, a former 4-H participant, traveled to Olympia to see the bill signed into law.
"The 4-H program is so beneficial for students to become engaged and active citizens in their world," said Warnick, R-Moses Lake. "This is a little bill that will help make a big statement about an important organization that develops our future leaders.
