LD 1315 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Authorize The Display Of An Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal Decal On A Special Veterans Commemorative License Plate

This bill (LD 1315) allows Maine veterans who received the Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal to display a commemorative decal of that medal on their special veterans commemorative license plates. It amends Maine law to add the "Inherent Resolve Campaign Medal" as an authorized decal option under the existing list of approved medals for these plates. The change directly affects veterans who earned this specific military medal, providing them a new option to display their service on their vehicle registration. The bill does not create new benefits or funding - it simply expands the list of approved decals for current veterans plates. This is a procedural update to existing license plate policy.
