AI Summary

This bill modifies Minnesota's law regarding special license plates for veterans, specifically creating a new special license plate for veterans who received the Army of Occupation Medal. The bill updates existing statutes to add a new category of special veteran's license plates that will feature a facsimile of the Army of Occupation Medal and the inscription "ARMY OF OCCUPATION" directly below the plate number. The changes are technical in nature, updating language from "shall" to "must" and clarifying eligibility requirements for various veteran-specific license plates. Veterans seeking this new plate must be registered owners of a passenger automobile, recreational motor vehicle, or one-ton pickup truck (not a commercial vehicle), have served in active military service, and been discharged under honorable conditions. The bill requires veterans to provide a certified copy of their discharge papers when applying for the special plate. The new license plate option will become effective on January 1, 2026, and will apply to special veteran's plates issued on or after that date, giving veterans who received the Army of Occupation Medal a new way to recognize their military service through a specialized license plate.
