What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows an applicant for a motor vehicle operator's license or

identification card issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) to indicate

whether he or she is a veteran and whether he or she wishes to have his or her veteran

status indicated on the license or card. If an applicant indicates that he or she is a

veteran who wishes to have his or her veteran status indicated on the license or card

and provides verification from the Department of Veterans Affairs that the applicant

is a veteran, DOT must provide an indication of the person's veteran status on the

front side of the license or card.

This bill also allows DOT to promulgate rules establishing veteran disability

rating codes to assist in identifying persons that are eligible for benefits programs

and requiring that a license or identification card that contains a veteran indication

also include a veteran disability rating code.
