House Bill No. 6724 aims to establish a special commemorative motor vehicle number plate to honor "The Borinqueneers," the predominantly Puerto Rican members of the Sixty-Fifth Infantry Regiment of the United States Army. The bill mandates the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to issue these plates starting January 1, 2026, with the design developed in collaboration with Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut, Inc. A fee of $60 will be charged for the plates, which includes $15 for production and maintenance and $45 directed to a newly created "Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut" account to fund bilingual services for veterans. The bill also specifies that there will be no additional fees for renewing or transferring these plates and establishes the commemorative account as a non-lapsing fund within the General Fund, with quarterly distributions to support the initiatives of Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut, Inc.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for female veterans or armed forces members to register a motor vehicle and receive a special certificate of registration along with commemorative license plates, recognizing their contributions to the military. This initiative is part of a broader legislative effort that includes other bills aimed at supporting veterans, such as HB 5787, which allows for reimbursement for joining the Military Order of the Purple Heart, and HB 6734, which reduces fees for certain military-related license plates to just the cost of production. The Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee has reported these measures favorably, demonstrating strong bipartisan support with a unanimous vote of 20 in favor.
