Vehicles: registration plates; special registration plates for Operation Inherent Resolve; provide for. Amends 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.1 - 257.923) by adding sec. 803v.
HB 4589 would create special vehicle registration plates for Michigan residents who served in Operation Inherent Resolve (the U.S. military operation in Iraq/Syria starting June 15, 2014). Eligible applicants - current or former members of the U.S. Armed Forces Reserve or active duty during this operation - could apply for plates displaying "Operation Inherent Resolve" beneath the registration numbers, without paying a service fee for application or renewal. The plates would expire on the vehicle owner’s birthday, and disabled veterans applying under this bill would also receive a disability tab. This bill does not impose new taxes or fees beyond standard registration taxes and applies only to qualifying military service members.
