The Michigan Legislature has voted to limit the number of state-sponsored licensed plates used to raise money for groups and causes.
The Senate and House approved legislation that would cap the number at 20, not including university plates.
Michigan has 15 university plates and 14 specialty fundraising plates, not including military plates.
The bill is now headed to Gov. Rick Snyder who can also revise the start-up fee that groups must pay Michigan to develop a new fundraising plate.
The bill was sponsored by former Rep. Peter Pettalia, a Republican from Presque Isle who was killed in a motorcycle crash in September.
