With Kaine's signature Monday, Virginia joins 23 other states that offer the plate - some after lengthy court battles.

Republican Sen. Kenneth Cuccinelli attached the proposal onto a bill that also adds plates honoring the Washington Capitals, the
Blue Ridge Parkway and others to the 200 specialty plates the Department of Motor Vehicles already offers.

Under law, more than 350 people must sign up for a plate before DMV can produce it. Cuccinelli said 450 people have prepaid for the
plate.

After the first 1,000 plates are sold, $15 of the $25 fee would go to crisis pregnancy centers.
