Bill Summary

The bill requires a $15 application fee to obtain the special plates, in addition to the normal registration fee. The bill authorizes the chief administrator to promulgate rules and regulations governing the issuance and use of these plates.

AI Summary
This bill allows honorably discharged veterans in New Jersey to obtain special license plates for their vehicles, which will be designed by the Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs in consultation with the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), and will identify the registrant as a veteran and the branch of military service. To get these plates, veterans will need to provide proof of their service, such as a DD-214 form, and pay a $15 fee in addition to the standard vehicle registration fees. The bill also permits surviving spouses of deceased veterans to keep these special plates, and the Chief Administrator of the MVC is authorized to create rules for their issuance and use, and will inform the public about this new option through registration renewal notices and notices in MVC facilities.
