Relating to the issuance of specialty license plates for recipients of certain Texas military awards.

HB 2540 creates two new specialty license plates for Texas military veterans: one for recipients of the Texas Humanitarian Service Medal (displaying the medal name and emblem) and another for veterans who served in Operation Freedom's Sentinel (displaying "Freedom's Sentinel"). These plates are issued without the standard registration fee to qualifying individuals who received these specific Texas military awards. The bill amends the Transportation Code to establish these plate designs and their eligibility criteria, effective September 1, 2025.
