MONTGOMERY, Ala.—A Republican state senator plans to introduce a bill that would create a faith-proclaiming “I Believe” license plate in Alabama similar to one approved recently by South Carolina lawmakers.

The South Carolina Legislature passed a bill last month to create an “I Believe” license plate with the image of a cross and a stained glass window.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford allowed the bill to become law without his signature. A similar proposal in the Florida Legislature failed last month.

The American Jewish Congress and others are considering challenging the South Carolina law.
