| IN RE: | SB1697 by Wentworth (Relating to the issuance of special license plates for recipients of the Distinguished Flying Cross Medal.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to issue specially designed Distinguished Flying Cross Medal license plates for passenger cars and light trucks. The bill would require applicants to submit proof of eligibility as specified in the bill and a $3 annual fee in addition to other registration fees. The bill would require that the entire $3 fee would be deposited to the credit of the State Highway Fund. The bill would also allow lost, stolen, or mutilated license plates to be replaced for $6.30 and would require an owner to return the specially designed plates to TxDOT upon disposing of the related vehicle during the registration year.
No significant fiscal implication is anticipated due to the estimated number of license plate issuances.
