S.B. No. 1227 amends the Transportation Code regarding fees for the issuance of certain military specialty license plates. The bill specifies that individuals applying for these license plates must pay the standard registration fee as outlined in Chapter 502, but it allows for one set of license plates to be issued without this fee under specific sections (504.308, 504.310(b), 504.315, and 504.319). Additionally, the bill removes the previous stipulation that there was a fee of $3 for specialty license plates issued under certain sections, establishing instead that there is no additional fee for any specialty license plate issued under this subchapter.

The changes made by this bill will take effect on September 1, 2025. The legislation received unanimous support in both the Senate and the House, indicating strong bipartisan agreement on the matter.
