Bill Summary
This bill amends the law authorizing a "Combat Infantryman Badge" plate so individuals who have been awarded a Combat Action Ribbon are eligible to receive the plate. Under current law, this plate is only available to the holder of a Combat Infantryman Badge. This requirement prevents Marines from obtaining the special plate, as they are awarded a Combat Action Ribbon and not a Combat Infantryman Badge. This bill amends the law so Marines are eligible to possess the plates.
AI Summary
This bill expands eligibility for a special license plate to include individuals who have been awarded a Combat Action Ribbon, in addition to those already eligible who hold a Combat Infantryman Badge. The Combat Action Ribbon is a military award given for engaging in ground combat, and this change is intended to allow Marines, who are typically awarded the Combat Action Ribbon rather than the Combat Infantryman Badge, to obtain this special plate. The bill also updates the term "director" to "chief administrator" in relation to the issuance of these plates and clarifies that surviving spouses of eligible recipients can retain the special plates.
