A. If, by December 31, 2022 2025, a person pays $32,000 to the department for the implementation of this section, the department shall issue ovarian cancer awareness special plates. The person that provides the $32,000 shall design the ovarian cancer awareness special plates. The design and color of the ovarian cancer awareness special plates are subject to the approval of the department. The director may allow a request for ovarian cancer awareness special plates to be combined with a request for personalized special plates. If the director allows such a combination, the request shall be in a form prescribed by the director and is subject to the fees for the personalized special plates in addition to the fees required for the ovarian cancer awareness special plates.
B. Of the $25 fee required by section 28-2402 for the original special plates and for renewal of special plates, $8 is a special plate administration fee and $17 is an annual donation.
C. The department shall deposit, pursuant to sections 35-146 and 35-147, all special plate administration fees in the state highway fund established by section 28-6991 and all donations collected pursuant to this section in the ovarian cancer awareness special plate fund established by this section.
D. The ovarian cancer awareness special plate fund is established consisting of monies deposited pursuant to this section. The director shall administer the fund. The first $32,000 in the fund shall be reimbursed to the person that paid the implementation fee to the department pursuant to subsection A of this section. Not more than ten percent of monies deposited in the fund annually shall be used for the cost of administering the fund. Monies in the fund are continuously appropriated.
E. The director shall annually allocate monies from the fund, excluding administrative fees, to an entity that is qualified under section 501(c)(3) of the United States internal revenue code for federal income tax purposes. The entity must:
1. Be a national women's health organization.
2. Have a mission to save lives by fighting to prevent and cure ovarian cancer and to improve the quality of life for survivors.
3. Raise earlier awareness about the signs, symptoms and risk factors of ovarian cancer and educate the public about the power of early detection.
4. Provide resources, services and support so that women with ovarian cancer can live extraordinary lives.
5. Fund the most impactful research initiatives that push forward the study of ovarian cancer detection and treatment.
6. Create nationwide movements that activate communities across the United States to become involved in the battle against ovarian cancer.
