What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who submits to the Department of Transportation (DOT) a certification from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that the person sustained injuries while in active military service that limit or impair the person's ability to walk may obtain from DOT special distinguishing registration plates for certain vehicles, including automobiles, light-duty trucks, and motor homes, that identify the owner or lessee of the vehicle as a disabled veteran.
Under this bill, if, in addition to the certification of injury, a disabled veteran submits to DOT a certification from the Military Order of the Purple Heart that the veteran has been awarded the Purple Heart medal, the veteran may obtain from DOT special distinguishing registration plates that identify the owner or lessee of the vehicle as a disabled veteran and incorporate the emblem of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Also under this bill, a surviving spouse may obtain a special group plate for persons awarded the Purple Heart medal. The special plate that the surviving spouse may obtain does not provide parking privileges reserved for disabled persons.
