Decatur, AL – Anglers can now show their passion for Alabama fishing while supporting the state's only fishing trail. The new Alabama Bass Trail specialty license plate will be available for pre-order beginning June 1, 2015, at https://precommit.mvtrip.alabama.gov and cost $50 in addition to normal tag registration fees.
Featuring the Alabama Bass Trail's logo, colors and tagline "Now You're Hooked," the Alabama Bass Trail plate was approved by the Legislative Oversight Committee and has a goal of selling 1,000 plates from June 1, 2015 to May 30, 2016.
Motorists can purchase the new plate at https://precommit.mvtrip.alabama.gov. There is a $50 annual tag fee plus applicable ad valorem tax and local issuance fees. If tags are not due, supporters may reserve a license plate, which will guarantee to receive one of the first tags that are printed. Supporters of the Alabama Bass Trail, who wish to purchase a pre-commitment for the specialty license plate, may visit https://precommit.mvtrip.alabama.gov, complete the online commitment to purchase application and pay the $50 additional fee. Applicants will continue to use their current, valid Alabama license plate.
The Alabama Bass Trail will receive a portion of the $50 annual tag fee to boost funding to the state's only fresh water fishing promotion. According to Alabama Bass Trail Program Director Kay Donaldson, "The funds from the purchase of the specialty tag will go to continue promoting Alabama as a year-round fishing destination and providing a number of conservation and education opportunities for student anglers and other groups."
