§ 39:3-27.

a. State or public funds shall not be used by the commission for the initial cost

of: (1) designing, producing, issuing, and publicizing the availability of alumni license

plates; or (2) any computer programming changes which may be necessary to implement an alumni

license plate program established by P.L.2023, c. 232 ( C.39:3-27.164 et seq. ). b. An alumni association of each four-year public institution of higher education

or an individual or entity designated by the alumni association, shall contribute

non-public monies in an amount to be determined by the chief administrator, not to

exceed a total of $25,000, to offset the initial costs incurred by the commission

for designing, producing, issuing, and publicizing the availability of the alumni

license plates for the four-year public institution of higher education, and any computer

programming which may be necessary to implement the alumni license plate program. Concerned organizations and individual donors may contribute monies to the alumni

association to offset the initial costs incurred by the commission for alumni license

plates authorized by P.L.2023, c. 232 ( C.39:3-27.164 et seq. ). Any amount remaining after the payment of the initial cost shall be deposited in

the special non-lapsing fund established for the applicable alumni license plate program

pursuant to subsection c. of section 3 of P.L.2023, c. 232 ( C.39:3-27.166 ). c. The commission shall not begin designing, producing, issuing, or publicizing the

availability of the alumni license plates for the four-year public institution of

higher education, or making any necessary programming changes, until the following

requirements have been met: (1) An alumni association of the four-year public institution of higher education

or an individual or entity designated by the alumni association, has provided the

commission with the non-public monies necessary, as determined by the chief administrator

pursuant to subsection b. of this section, to offset the initial costs incurred by

the commission in establishing the alumni license plate program; and (2) The liaison appointed by the director of the alumni association pursuant to subsection

g. of section 3 of P.L.2023, c. 232 ( C.39:3-27.166 ) has provided the commission with not less than 500 completed applications for the

alumni license plates. These applications shall constitute the initial order for the alumni license plates

and shall be accompanied by a fee representing the total cost of the initial order. The fee shall be determined by multiplying the number of sets of license plates

being ordered by the applicable initial fee for each set of license plates as set

forth in subsection b. of section 3 of P.L.2023, c. 232 ( C.39:3-27.166 ).
