Motor vehicles, distinctive tags, veterans, motorcycle available at same cost as car tag of same designation
Summary

The bill lets veterans who qualify for a distinctive veteran tag for cars or trucks get the same tag for motorcycles at the same price, if available.

What This Bill Does

It authorizes any veteran eligible for a distinctive motor vehicle tag designed for military veterans for use on a car or truck to receive that same tag for a motorcycle, at the same cost, if the tag is available for motorcycles. The change applies to the same class or designation of veteran. It expands tag options to motorcycles and ensures price parity for those eligible tags.

Who It Affects
  • Veterans who are eligible for reduced-cost distinctive veteran tags for cars or trucks: they can obtain the same tag design for a motorcycle at the same price, if the motorcycle version exists.
  • The Alabama motor vehicle tag program/DMV: must issue motorcycle versions of eligible veteran tags at the same cost when available.
Key Provisions
  • Section 1: Allows eligible veterans to receive a motorcycle tag that matches a car/truck veteran tag design for the same cost, when the tag is available for motorcycles.
  • Section 2: Establishes the act's effective date as the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
