The bill amends the Michigan Vehicle Code to update terminology related to the issuance of operator's and chauffeur's licenses, changing "person" to "individual" and "indorsement" to "endorsement." It introduces provisions for special registration plates for veterans of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps and the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which will display a "veteran" designation and will not incur a service fee for application or renewal. Applicants must provide proof of service, and the plates will expire on the vehicle owner's birthday, with penalties established for misuse.

Additionally, the bill modifies the application process for special registration plates for individuals with disabilities, ensuring that no service fee is required under section 804. Upon proper application, the Secretary of State is required to issue special registration plates for each applicant using a passenger vehicle. Disabled individuals will also receive a tab for persons with disabilities, provided they submit the necessary proof of disability. Renewal applications for these plates will not require proof of disability again, and misuse of the plates will be classified as a misdemeanor.
