What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, members of certain special groups may obtain special

distinguishing license plates for certain vehicles, including automobiles and motor

homes, that are owned by special group members. A fee, in addition to the regular

registration fee for the particular kind of vehicle, is charged for the issuance or

reissuance of most special plates. Several special groups for persons associated with

the armed services are specifically enumerated as groups that may obtain special

plates.

Under this bill, if an applicant for initial issuance of special group plates for a

group associated with a branch of the armed services or a related organization

identifies herself as a woman veteran, the Department of Transportation (DOT)

must provide to the applicant, to be affixed to one of these special plates, a decal that

contains the words "woman veteran" in white text on a red field and is as similar in

appearance as possible to the woman veteran decal used by the Kentucky

Department of Vehicle Regulation. An applicant for renewal of registration of these

special plates may also receive the decal, free of charge, if the decal was not

previously provided to the applicant by DOT.
