An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration of vehicles, providing for special plates for recipients of commendation medals and for special plates for recipients of achievement medals.

HB 419 creates special vehicle license plates in Pennsylvania for residents who have received specific military commendation or achievement medals. It allows holders of medals like the Army Commendation Medal or Joint Service Achievement Medal to apply for a plate by paying a $26 fee (in addition to regular registration costs). The plates display the specific medal type and its name, and can only be used on passenger cars or light trucks under 14,000 pounds gross weight. This bill directly affects Pennsylvania veterans or military personnel who qualify for these specific medals. The policy change is purely procedural, adding new plate options without altering military benefits or eligibility.
