This bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to provide specific provisions for disabled veterans regarding special registration plates. It allows disabled veterans with an honorable discharge from the United States Armed Forces to apply for either a special registration plate inscribed with "DV" and "disabled veteran" or a service or conflict registration plate with a special adhesive tab displaying "DV" or "Disabled Veteran." The application process is outlined, requiring proof of honorable discharge and disability status, with exemptions from service fees for both the initial application and renewals.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the surviving spouses of disabled veterans, allowing them to use and renew the special registration plates after the veteran's death. It also introduces a tab for persons with disabilities that can be issued to disabled veterans and their surviving spouses, which must be free of charge. The bill defines "private passenger motor vehicle" and "service or conflict registration plate," ensuring clarity in the types of vehicles and plates covered under this legislation.
