Bill > LD1315

This bill modifies Maine's vehicle registration laws to expand special commemorative license plate decals for veterans and service members. Specifically, the bill adds the Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal to the list of medals that qualify for a special commemorative decal on veterans' license plates. Additionally, the bill expands the list of recognized uniformed services to include the United States Space Force, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps. The bill replaces the term "United States Armed Forces" with "uniformed services of the United States" to be more inclusive. The legislation also includes appropriations for the Secretary of State's Department to cover the costs of creating and issuing these new medal decals and making necessary computer programming updates, with funding allocated from the Highway Fund. These changes will allow more service members to display their military service and achievements on their license plates, providing additional recognition for their contributions.
