Bill > HF1783

This bill creates a new type of special license plate for recipients of the Legion of Merit, a military award. The bill allows qualified individuals who own a passenger automobile, one-ton pickup truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle to obtain these special license plates at no cost when they register or renew their vehicle registration. To qualify, the applicant must be a Legion of Merit recipient, own the vehicle for personal use, and meet standard vehicle registration requirements. The license plates will feature the phrase "LEGION OF MERIT" and can be transferred to another qualifying vehicle owned by the same individual without additional fees. The commissioner of motor vehicles is required to design the plates and issue them free of charge, including replacements if the plates become damaged. These special plates will be available starting January 1, 2026, and are exempt from certain standard license plate regulations. The bill aims to provide a unique recognition for Legion of Merit recipients by offering them personalized license plates that acknowledge their military service and achievement.
