What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person registering a motorcycle with the Department of

Transportation (DOT) who submits a statement from one of a list of specified medical

care providers or the federal Department of Veterans Affairs certifying that the

person has a disability that limits or impairs the ability to walk may obtain a special

registration plate that entitles the person to certain parking privileges. If the

disability is temporary, DOT may issue a temporary registration plate for the

motorcycle entitling the person to these parking privileges.

Also under current law, a veteran of the U.S. armed forces who is registering

a motorcycle with DOT may obtain a special registration plate identifying the owner

or lessee of the motorcycle as a veteran.

This bill establishes a special plate for motorcycles owned or leased by veterans

with disabilities that limit or impair the ability to walk. This special plate entitles

the disabled veteran to certain parking privileges and may be personalized. DOT

may issue a temporary disabled veterans plate if the disability is temporary.
