Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that any veteran who holds proof of a service-connected disability from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and whose degree of disability has been declared to be 50% or more, but whose disability does not qualify the veteran for a plate or decal for persons with disabilities, without the payment of any registration fee, make application to the Secretary of State for any other special plate for veterans for which the veteran qualifies for the registration of one motor vehicle of the first division, one motorcycle, or one motor vehicle of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to allow any veteran with a service-connected disability of 50% or more, as certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, to obtain a special veteran's license plate without paying registration fees, even if their disability doesn't qualify them for the standard disability plates. This applies to one motor vehicle of the first division (typically cars), one motorcycle, or one motor vehicle of the second division weighing up to 8,000 pounds. The bill also clarifies that these special plates will not display the international symbol of access, which is typically used for persons with disabilities, and that the Secretary of State has discretion over the design of these plates.
