TO AUTHORIZE THE CREATION OF THE WOMEN VETERANS SPECIAL LICENSE PLATE; AND TO REPEAL THE PEARL HARBOR SURVIVOR LICENSE PLATE.
SB 45 creates a new Women Veterans special license plate option for vehicle owners who are women veterans. It simultaneously repeals the existing Pearl Harbor Survivor license plate program. The bill directly affects eligible women veterans who can choose this plate, and modifies the state's license plate offerings. This is a procedural change to license plate designations with no additional funding or requirements. The bill passed on February 11, 2025, and became Act 51.
