(a) Beginning July 1, 2023, and each year
thereafter, the bureau shall forward to the executive director of the
legislative services agency in an electronic format under IC 5-14-6 for
review by the committee the name of a special group for whom:
(1) ten (10) years have elapsed since the special group was
admitted into the special group recognition license plate program;
or
(2) ten (10) years have elapsed since the previous review of the
special group by the special group recognition license plate
committee established by IC 2-5-36.2-4 (repealed) or the
committee as required under this section.
Upon receipt of the name of a special group, except for a petition under
section 3(a)(8) of this chapter, the committee shall require the special
group to submit to the committee evidence of the criteria set forth in
section 3 of this chapter. Upon submission of the criteria, the
committee shall review the suitability of the special group to continue
participating in the special group recognition license plate program. In
the review, the committee shall consider the criteria set forth in section
3 of this chapter and may seek additional evidence of the criteria from
a special group. The committee shall recommend to the bureau that
participation in the special group recognition license plate program be
terminated if the committee finds that termination is appropriate
because the special group is not suitable for inclusion in the special
group license plate program.
(b) If a special group was subject to a decennial review under this
section before July 1, 2023, then the next review occurs in the year
which is a multiple of ten (10) years after the year of the special group's
admittance to the special group recognition license plate program under
this section.
(c) Upon receiving a recommendation of termination for a special
group under subsection (a), the bureau may:
(1) terminate the special group from participation in the special
group recognition license plate program; or
(2) allow the special group to continue participating in the special
group recognition license plate program for a period of not more
than eighteen (18) months.
(d) If the bureau terminates the participation of a special group
under subsection (c)(1):
(1) the bureau may not issue additional special group recognition
license plates of the special group to plateholders; and
(2) a plateholder may not renew a special group recognition
license plate of the special group.
If the special group desires to continue participating in the special
group recognition license plate program, the special group must submit
an application to the bureau containing the criteria set forth in section
3 of this chapter. The bureau shall then follow the procedure set forth
in section 3 of this chapter.
(e) If the bureau allows a special group to continue participating in
the special group recognition license plate program for a period under
subsection (c)(2), the bureau shall:
(1) establish the duration of the set period under subsection (c)(2);
and
(2) require the special group to submit to the bureau:
(A) evidence of the criteria set forth in section 3 of this chapter;
and
(B) any additional information the bureau determines is
necessary.
(f) The bureau shall:
(1) review the evidence and additional information submitted by
a special group under subsection (e)(2); and
(2) determine whether to terminate or continue the participation
of the special group in the special group recognition license plate
program.
(g) After the review under subsection (f), if the bureau terminates
the participation of the special group and the special group desires to
continue participating, the special group must submit an application to
the bureau containing the criteria set forth in section 3 of this chapter.
The bureau shall then follow the procedure set forth in section 3 of this
chapter.
(h) After the review under subsection (f), if the bureau continues the
participation of the special group in the special group recognition
license plate program, the bureau may do one (1) or more of the
following:
(1) Allow the special group to remedy the defect or the violation
that caused the special group to not be suitable for inclusion in the
special group recognition license plate program.
(2) Place restrictions on or temporarily suspend the sales of
special group recognition license plates for the special group.
(3) Require the special group to appear before the commission for
review or reinstatement, or both.
(i) The bureau may suspend the issuance of a special group
recognition license plate for a special group if the bureau, upon
investigation, has determined that the special group has advocated or
committed a violation of federal or state law.
