The 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 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 initial applications 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 provided free of charge. The bill emphasizes that misuse of these plates or tabs is a misdemeanor and clarifies definitions related to private passenger motor vehicles and service or conflict registration plates.
