A bill for an act relating to persons eligible for special registration plates with a veteran processed emblem.

HF 779 expands eligibility for special Iowa license plates featuring a "veteran" emblem to include anyone who served in the U.S. reserve forces or Iowa National Guard and was discharged honorably, regardless of their total service duration. Currently, such plates were only available to reserve members meeting specific service thresholds (e.g., 20+ years or 90+ days of active duty). The bill allows these individuals to apply directly through the Department of Transportation with proof of service, removing prior service-time requirements. This change applies specifically to Iowa residents qualifying under these revised criteria for the veteran emblem plates.
