Creates a special license plate for the charity Real Access Motivates Progress, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Plain-English Summary

This bill would create a special, custom license plate in Rhode Island to support a nonprofit organization called Real Access Motivates Progress (RAMP), which is a registered 501(c)(3) charity. Like other specialty plates in the state, drivers who want to show their support for this organization could choose to purchase this plate instead of a standard Rhode Island license plate.

These types of specialty plates typically work by charging drivers an additional fee beyond the normal registration cost, with a portion of that extra money going to the featured charity. This means Rhode Island drivers who support RAMP's mission would have a way to both display that support and contribute financially to the organization simply by choosing this plate for their vehicle.

The bill primarily affects Rhode Island vehicle owners who want to voluntarily support RAMP, as well as the nonprofit organization itself, which could benefit from the additional funding. It does not appear to require anything of drivers who are not interested — participation would be entirely optional.

Currently, the bill has been referred to the House Special Legislation Committee and has been recommended to be held for further study, meaning it has not yet advanced through the legislative process. A hearing was scheduled for March 17, 2026. Bills held for further study often require additional review or discussion before moving forward.
