Veterans

SB 532 creates special vehicle registration plates for Michigan military members, including current National Guard members, U.S. Armed Forces Reserve members, and honorably discharged veterans (including those who retired or received honorable discharges). Applicants must provide proof of service, and the plates feature a special design with "national guard" or "armed forces" wording, issued at no service fee. The plates expire on the vehicle owner’s birthday, and renewal requires no additional fee. This law directly affects eligible military members and their vehicles, expanding access beyond current plate categories.
