The bill amends the definition of "disabled veteran" in Arkansas law to clarify eligibility for a special license plate. Specifically, it changes the minimum disability percentage required for a veteran to qualify from thirty percent (30%) to ten percent (10%). This adjustment aims to broaden access to the special license plate for a larger number of disabled veterans in the state.

In addition to the change in the disability percentage, the bill maintains the requirement that the veteran must be a citizen and resident of Arkansas and must have been determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to be a disabled service-connected veteran. The legislation also stipulates that the veteran must either own a motor vehicle used by or for them or be issued a motor vehicle by the Department of Veterans Affairs under any public law.
