Sponsor seeks second veteran plate for families; committee to finalize language
Summary
Representative Glaze presented House Bill 583 to allow certain veterans a second free license plate for a spouse or another vehicle; Department of Revenue raised a coding question about disabled-veteran plates and the sponsor agreed to refine language before the next hearing.
Representative Glaze presented House Bill 583 (LC394651), a proposal to allow veterans a second free license plate — for example to be used on a spouse’s car or a motorcycle. The sponsor said she is a spouse of a disabled veteran and that many veteran families would prefer flexibility in how they use the single free plate currently authorized.
Department of Revenue staff reviewed the bill and advised that the disabled-veteran plate language references a different code section. DOR asked whether disabled veterans should also be included for a second free plate; the sponsor and members agreed to review and update statutory references so the measure covers the intended plate types.
Committee members asked staff to work with the sponsor on language and effective date; the sponsor and staff agreed to reconvene before the next meeting. No final committee vote on the bill was recorded in the transcript; the committee adjourned and scheduled follow-up work.
