Summary

House Bill 24-23 to update veteran and disabled-veteran definitions and allow a valid veteran ID card as proof for veteran license plates was adopted by the Fiscal Affairs Committee in a roll call (5 yes, 1 absent).

The floor leader moved to adopt House Bill 24-23, which amends definitions of "veteran" and "disabled veteran" and authorizes use of a valid veteran ID card as proof of status when applying for a veteran license plate.

Senator Cruz sought clarification about a previously introduced disabled-veteran license plate and whether plates have been procured; committee members asked counsel and staff to confirm logistics. The motion was seconded, the clerk called the roll, and the committee recorded five members voting yes with one member absent. House Bill 24-23 passed the committee and will be prepared for the full-board markup and transmittal.

Staff were directed to confirm whether prior authorizations for disabled‑veteran plates have been implemented and, if needed, to adjust implementation steps before full-board action.
