AI Summary

This bill authorizes the issuance of distinctive motor vehicle license plates for supporters of various organizations and for specific veteran groups, while also reauthorizing and modifying existing distinctive plate programs. Specifically, it allows for the creation of special license plates for supporters of the State Department of Health, the Jackson Club, and Forrest Health, each requiring an additional $30 fee, with a portion of that fee distributed to the respective organizations and other state funds. The bill also adds Shower Power, the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, Eagle Home School, Inc., Madison-Ridgeland Academy, Corinth School District, Mississippi Sound Estuary Program, Brown Missionary Baptist Church, Heritage Christian Academy, and Extra Table Feeds to the list of organizations eligible for distinctive plates, and reauthorizes plates for D'Iberville High School, Kossuth High School, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mississippi, Inc., with similar fee structures. Additionally, it introduces an alternative distinctive tag design for Wildlife Mississippi and allows for the issuance of distinctive plates for honorably discharged veterans of the United States Space Force. Finally, it amends the requirements for obtaining veteran license plates, mandating that discharged members of the U.S. Armed Forces (other than those retiring) must provide a copy of their DD Form 214, a document that confirms their military service and discharge status.
