What’s in it
AI summary People who received a distinguished service medal from the United States government can now get special license plates with a medal emblem for free. If the person who had these plates passes away, their surviving spouse can also apply to use them. Any fees collected from other people ordering these special plates will go into a fund used for state roads.1
Read the official explanation
This bill authorizes the department of transportation (DOT) to issue special registration plates bearing a distinguished service medal processed emblem designed by the DOT in consultation with the adjutant general. A person who was awarded a distinguished service medal by the United States government may apply to the DOT and present satisfactory proof of the award to order the plates. Under current law, the fee for the issuance of special registration plates with a processed emblem is $25 which is in addition to the regular annual registration fee. The bill provides that a person who is approved for the distinguished service medal plates must be issued one set of plates at no charge. The bill requires the fees collected by the DOT for the distinguished service medal plates to be paid monthly to the treasurer of state and deposited in the road use tax fund. The treasurer of state must credit monthly from the statutory allocations fund to the veterans license fee fund the amount of special fees for distinguished service medal plates collected in the previous month. The bill authorizes the surviving spouse of a person who was issued distinguished service medal plates to continue to use or apply for and use the plates subject to certain conditions.
