An Act establishing a Medal of Fidelity license plate
This bill creates a special license plate for individuals who have received the Medal of Fidelity, a state award given to next of kin of fallen service members. The legislation requires the state registrar to provide these distinctive plates free of charge to eligible recipients upon presentation of proof of their award status. Additionally, the bill mandates that current and past recipients be notified of their eligibility to receive the plates through official letters and online applications. The new plates will feature an image of the medal and ribbon along with the words "MEDAL OF FIDELITY" to honor the recipients.
