Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday signed House Bill 5127, which expands the eligibility of the Disabled Veteran registration plate to partially disabled veterans.
“Michigan’s veterans are the best of us and deserve the support of the state,” Whitmer said. “Let’s keep working together so they can get good-paying jobs, affordable housing, and quality health care. Michigan will always fight for those who fought for us.”
House Bill 5127, sponsored by state Representative Mike McFall (D-Hazel Park), expands the eligibility of the Disabled Veteran registration plate to partially disabled veterans. Specifically, it would expand eligibility to veterans with a service-connected disability of 50% or more.
The plate also provides veterans with free access to Michigan state parks. In this year’s budget, all veterans were granted free access to Michigan’s state park system.
“This legislation highlights the importance of honoring Michigan’s disabled veterans and the sacrifices they’ve made,” said state Representative Mike McFall (D-Hazel Park). “By expanding access to specialized license plates, we’re making it easier for our veterans to receive the recognition they deserve. I am grateful for the support this bipartisan legislation has received and proud to see it signed into law.”
