Authorizes "100 percent Disabled Veteran" license plates for qualified veterans; entitles holders to handicapped parking privileges.
This bill, S 1543, creates special "100 Percent Disabled Veteran" license plates for New Jersey residents who are 100% disabled veterans as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It entitles holders to all handicapped parking privileges (including parking in designated handicapped spots) without application fees. The plates must display "100 Percent Disabled Veteran" and an emblem chosen with veteran organization input, are non-transferable, and misuse may result in revocation. The bill requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to notify veterans of this option through renewal notices and office postings.
