Bill > HB4681

This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to expand registration plate options for disabled veterans by allowing them to request either a special disabled veteran registration plate with "DV" identification or a service/conflict registration plate with a special "DV" or "Disabled Veteran" adhesive tab. The bill maintains existing requirements that the veteran must have an honorable discharge and meet specific disability rating criteria: totally disabled veterans with a service-connected total disability rating, or partially disabled veterans with a service-connected disability rating of at least 50%. The legislation provides several key provisions, including exempting plates for totally disabled veterans from vehicle tax, allowing surviving spouses to continue using the plates under certain conditions, and permitting the attachment of disability tabs to these specialized plates. The bill also defines key terms like "private passenger motor vehicle" and expands the definition of "service or conflict registration plate" to include various military-related registration plates. Additionally, the bill ensures that plate applications and renewals are streamlined, with reduced paperwork for veterans and no associated service fees, ultimately aiming to provide more flexible and accessible registration options for disabled veterans.
