A 4657 - Distinctive Plates for Medal of Honor Recipients

Overview

Bill Number: A 4657
Title: Relates to distinctive plates for medal of honor recipients
Status: REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION
Introduced: June 25, 2024

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of this bill is to establish a distinctive license plate design for individuals who have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration. The intent is to provide a visible way to honor and recognize these distinguished service members for their extraordinary acts of valor.

Key Provisions

  • Requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to develop and issue a unique license plate design for Medal of Honor recipients
  • Allows Medal of Honor recipients to apply for and be issued these distinctive plates at no additional cost
  • Mandates that the plates prominently display the Medal of Honor emblem or insignia
  • Specifies that the plates must be available to both current and former Medal of Honor recipients

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • This bill directly affects individuals who have been awarded the Medal of Honor, providing them with a way to publicly display their prestigious military honor.
  • It may also have a positive impact on the general public, allowing them to easily identify and show respect for Medal of Honor recipients in their communities.
  • The Department of Motor Vehicles will be responsible for developing and administering the new license plate design, which may require additional resources and coordination.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

The bill has been referred to the Transportation Committee for further consideration. If passed by the committee and the full legislative body, it would then be sent to the governor for final approval and enactment. The timeline for this process is uncertain, as it depends on the committee's schedule and the overall legislative calendar.
