Bill > HB1598

This bill modifies the number of vehicles that disabled veterans can tag with Disabled Veterans License Plates, increasing the limit from two to four vehicles. The bill specifically amends Section 1135.2 of Oklahoma statutes, which governs special license plates. Under the current law, disabled veterans who have a service-connected disability rating of 50% or more, or who have been awarded a vehicle by the U.S. government due to service-connected disabilities, can apply for special license plates. Previously, these veterans were limited to applying for these special plates on up to two vehicles with a rated carrying capacity of one ton or less. The new legislation expands this limit to four vehicles, giving disabled veterans more flexibility in registering their vehicles with specialized license plates. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2025, and maintains all other existing provisions related to disabled veterans license plates, such as eligibility requirements and fee structures. This change appears to be a modest but meaningful adjustment to provide additional convenience for disabled veterans in Oklahoma.
