Commissioner of Public Safety must issue special license plates featuring a red handprint, partial ribbon skirt, and "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives" or "MMIR" text in consultation with the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives.

Eligible applicants must own a passenger automobile, noncommercial one-ton pickup truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle, pay standard registration fees and special plate fees, and contribute a minimum of $20 annually.

Special plates may be transferred to another qualifying vehicle registered to the same individual upon application and payment of a $5 transfer fee.

Annual contributions of at least $20 from plate holders are deposited in a special revenue fund account, with funds first allocated to administrative costs and remaining amounts distributed to the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives for investigating unsolved cases and establishing a reward fund.

Effective date is January 1, 2023, for plates issued on or after that date.
