The bill amends Sections 32-6-350 and 32-6-350.1 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to authorize the issuance of a distinctive motor vehicle license plate for veterans of Operation Inherent Resolve. The amendments include the insertion of language recognizing veterans of Operation Inherent Resolve as eligible for the Alabama Veteran Tag Program, alongside other veteran groups such as those from World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War. Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language by deleting references to veterans of the Cold War, thereby streamlining the eligibility criteria for the distinctive tags.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the application process for obtaining these tags, which includes compliance with state motor vehicle laws, payment of regular license fees, and an additional fee of three dollars for the initial issuance of the tag. It also specifies that the distinctive tags are non-transferable and must be designed in compliance with state regulations. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2024, following approval by the Governor.
