Under existing law, a resident veteran who is the recipient of the Silver Star or Bronze Star may receive a distinctive permanent motor vehicle license plate under certain conditions if the veteran presents evidence of receipt of the award on the form DD214. Because the form DD214 was not used until after January 1, 1950, this requirement prevents some veterans awarded the Silver Star or Bronze Star from obtaining the distinctive license plate.
This bill would delete the requirement that a resident veteran who received the Silver Star or the Bronze Star present proof evidenced on the form DD214 in order to be issued a permanent distinctive license plate.
