Eliminates the photo image fee for veterans who have their license amended with a veteran notation
This bill eliminates the photo image fee for veterans who update their driver's license or state ID card to include a veteran notation. It specifically removes the fee when the only change is adding the veteran designation, which identifies the holder as a U.S. armed forces veteran. The policy applies directly to veterans seeking this license/ID amendment, ensuring no fee is charged for this specific notation. The change affects all veterans meeting the criteria under existing law, streamlining the process for this administrative update.
