(2) any computer programming changes which may be necessary to implement the "Equality" license plate program established by P.L.2017, c.279 (C.39:3-27.150 et seq.).

b. Garden State Equality, or the individual or entity designated by Garden State Equality, shall contribute non-public monies in an amount to be determined by the chief administrator, not to exceed a total of $25,000, to be used to offset the initial costs incurred by the commission for designing, producing, issuing, and publicizing the availability of "Equality" license plates, and any computer programming which may be necessary to implement the program. Concerned organizations and individual donors may contribute monies to Garden State Equality to be used to offset the initial costs incurred by the commission for the "Equality" license plates authorized by P.L.2017, c.279 (C.39:3-27.150 et seq.). Any amount remaining after the payment of the initial cost shall be deposited in the "Equality License Plate Fund" established pursuant to subsection c. of section 1 of P.L.2017, c.279 (C.39:3-27.150).

c. The commission shall not begin designing, producing, issuing, or publicizing the availability of "Equality" license plates, or making any necessary programming changes, until the following requirements have been met:

(1) Garden State Equality, or the individual or entity designated by Garden State Equality, has provided the commission with the money necessary, as determined by the chief administrator pursuant to subsection b. of this section, to offset the initial costs incurred by the commission in establishing the "Equality" license plate program; and

(2) The liaison appointed by Garden State Equality pursuant to subsection g. of section 1 of P.L.2017, c.279 (C.39:3-27.150) has provided the commission with not less than 500 completed applications for "Equality" license plates. These applications shall constitute the initial order for "Equality" license plates and shall be accompanied by a fee representing the total cost of the initial order. The fee shall be determined by multiplying the number of sets of license plates being ordered by the applicable initial fee for each set of license plates as set forth in subsection b. of section 1 of P.L.2017, c.279 (C.39:3-27.150).
