Vehicles: driver's licenses: veterans.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue driver's licenses to qualified individuals containing specified information and to issue an identification card to any person attesting to the person's true full name, correct age, and other identifying data as certified by the applicant for the identification card. This bill would require the department to include the designation "VETERAN" on a driver's license or an identification card issued to a veteran who requests the designation and provides proof of his or her military service and honorable discharge. The bill would authorize the department to charge a fee of $29 for replacement of an unexpired driver's license or identification card with a new driver's license or identification card with a veteran's designation. The bill would also provide that applications for an original driver's license or identification card or the renewal of either are subject to the regular fees for issuance or renewal of the same.
