The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6746, aims to amend the current statutes regarding the Reduced Fare Transit ID program administered by the Commissioner of Transportation. The key change introduced by this bill is the provision that allows disabled veterans to ride state-owned or state-controlled bus public transportation services at no cost. This modification is intended to enhance accessibility and support for disabled veterans in the state.
In summary, the bill seeks to eliminate any transportation charges for disabled veterans using public bus services, thereby promoting their mobility and independence. The legal language inserted into the current law specifies this new provision, while no deletions from existing law are noted in the text provided.
