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 for these special plates under section 341.14 (6r) (f) 19g. Additionally, it establishes a fee of $15 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 Department of Transportation consults relevant stakeholders when specifying designs.

The bill modifies several sections of the current law, including the addition of the new special group designation and the adjustment of fees associated with special plates. It also clarifies that the authorized special groups are limited to those specified as of October 1, 1998, while allowing for the inclusion of the new group for medal recipients. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the tenth month following its publication.
