The Indiana House has approved a plan to overhaul the state's specialty auto license plate system that requires all the groups with plates to sell 500 a year and undergo a financial review once a decade.House members voted 92-6 in favor of the bill today. A similar overhaul plan was derailed last year by some Republican legislators who sought torevoke the plate issued to a gay youth advocacy group.A new bipartisan commission would review request for new plates and check reports about how the groups are spending their share of the money from the license plates.The bill sets a limit of 150 specialty plates, while the state now has about 100 specialty plates.The proposal now goes to the state Senate for consideration.
