Bill > S2175

This bill increases the maximum gross weight of a vehicle eligible for special "US Reserve Forces" license plates from 8,500 pounds to 12,000 pounds, and these plates will now feature the United States flag. To obtain these plates, individuals must provide proof of an honorable discharge, specifically a DD 214 form, to the division of motor vehicles (DMV). The bill also clarifies renewal periods, with passenger vehicles needing renewal every two years based on the owner's last name's first letter, and commercial vehicles renewing annually in March. These changes aim to expand eligibility for the special plates and standardize the process for obtaining and renewing them, while also allowing surviving spouses to retain the plates after a veteran's death.
