Assembly Bill 548 proposes to amend existing statutes to allow individuals who have been awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal to obtain special motor vehicle registration plates. The bill introduces a new category under the special group plates, specifically for these medal recipients, and establishes a $15 fee for the issuance or reissuance of these plates, which will be deposited into the veterans trust fund. The bill also amends existing provisions regarding the design and identification of special group plates, ensuring that the new category is included in the list of authorized special groups.

In addition to creating the new category for the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal recipients, the bill makes several amendments to existing statutes. It modifies the language regarding the fees associated with special group plates and clarifies the design specifications for these plates. Notably, the bill adds the new designation for the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal to the list of authorized special groups while maintaining the existing framework for other special groups. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the tenth month following its publication.
