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.
