This bill allows veteran business owners to display military specialty license plates on a noncommercial vehicle registered to their business, as long as the veteran is listed as an additional owner on the vehicle's title. Veterans displaying these plates must pay a $10 fee in addition to standard registration costs, unless they qualify for a fee exemption. The bill also protects veteran business owners from personal liability for damages caused by accidents involving vehicles registered to their business.
