The bill proposes the addition of two new sections, 301.3181 and 301.3182, to chapter 301 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, specifically aimed at establishing special license plates for veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. These new sections outline the design and issuance of the plates, which will feature the Afghanistan Campaign medal and the Iraq Campaign medal. The bill stipulates that there will be no additional fee for personalizing these license plates, and they must be clearly visible at night and aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, there is no limit on the number of plates a qualified individual may obtain, provided they are for vehicles owned solely or jointly by that person. Additionally, the bill specifies that the license plates issued under these sections are non-transferable to other individuals, although a registered co-owner may operate the vehicle in the event of the qualified person's death. This legislation aims to honor and recognize the service of veterans who served in these specific military operations by providing them with a unique identification on their vehicles.
