An act relating to Department of Motor Vehicles credentials and number plates with veteran designations

This bill expands access to veteran designations on Vermont driver's licenses, identification cards, and vehicle license plates to include individuals disabled during active duty for training. It requires applicants to provide proof of veteran status, such as a Department of Defense Form 214, and have their eligibility confirmed by the Office of Veterans' Affairs before the designation appears on their credentials. The legislation also mandates that special license plates include emblems recognizing specific groups like Purple Heart recipients, Pearl Harbor survivors, former prisoners of war, and disabled veterans. These changes apply to enhanced licenses, nondriver identification cards, and vehicle registration plates for eligible veterans and active military members.
