In 2011, the Bruins brought home the Stanley Cup and joined their fellow New England franchises in their recent reign of national championships.
Under legislation sponsored by Senate Majority Whip Maryellen Goodwin and approved by the Senate April 8, they could also join the ranks of New England teams whose logos Rhode Islanders can sport on their license plates.
The legislation (2014-S 2555) would create a new specialty plate for the Boston Bruins Foundation, the Bruins charitable foundation dedicated to supporting organizations that promote athletic activities, academics, health and outreach in the community.
Rhode Island already offers similar plates benefiting the charitable organizations of the Patriots and the Red Sox, which have proven popular.
“Rhode Islanders are passionate about rooting for their teams, and they’re nearly as passionate about their license plates. Rhode Island drivers love to have plates that tell people who they are, and many fans be excited to have the opportunity to show their pride in the Bruins,” Senator Goodwin (D-Dist. 1, Providence) said in a statement. “The plates will initially cost drivers an extra $40, which will be split evenly between the state and the Boston Bruins Foundation. Under the bill, the foundation must use the money to benefit Rhode Island-based charitable organizations. Subsequent renewals of the plates will be subject to a $10 surcharge, all of which will go to the foundation.
Under the bill, the plates would not be issued until the state has a minimum of 900 pre-paid orders for any plate type, whether passenger, commercial or other.
