(2) any computer programming changes which may be necessary to implement the Alpha Kappa Alpha license plate program established by P.L.2014, c.90 (C.39:3-27.146 et seq.).

b. The North Atlantic Region Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapter, or an individual or entity designated by the chapter, shall contribute 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 producing, issuing, and publicizing the availability of Alpha Kappa Alpha license plates, and any computer programming which may be necessary to implement the program. To further help offset the initial costs incurred by the commission for the special license plates authorized by P.L.2014, c.90 (C.39:3-27.146 et seq.), other concerned organizations and individual donors may contribute monies to the North Atlantic Region Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapter, or an individual or entity designated by the chapter, for this purpose. Any amount remaining after the payment of the initial costs shall be deposited in the "Alpha Kappa Alpha License Plate Fund" established pursuant to subsection c. of section 1 of P.L.2014, c.90 (C.39:3-27.146).

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

(1) The North Atlantic Region Alpha Kappa Alpha Chapter or the individual or entity designated by the chapter, 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 Alpha Kappa Alpha license plate program; and
