Senate Bill 542 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 amends the fee structure for special group plates, establishing a $15 fee for issuance or reissuance, which will be deposited into the veterans trust fund. The bill also updates the language in sections 341.14 (6r) (b) and (c) to include this new special group and outlines the design specifications for the plates.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the authorized special groups for special registration plates are limited to those specified as of October 1, 1998, with the exception of the newly added group for Global War on Terrorism Service Medal recipients. This legislative change aims to honor and recognize the service of these individuals while providing them with a unique identification on their vehicles. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the tenth month following its publication.
