This brings up an interesting constitutional problem, I think.

I remember reviewing a case in 1st amendment class about license plates and government endorsed speech, but this would be a different case entirely. The licence plate cases before have focused on whether the government should allow religious or political themed plates (i.e. pro life and pro choice vanity plates).

This would amount to the government forcing you to participate in advertising. The state owns the plates, but they are forcing you to carry the advertising message, which is problematic.

Like the "Choose Life" plates available soon in Massachusetts and already available in many other states?
