BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Interested parties note that although Texas offers a variety of specialty license plates that honor our armed forces, none of those specialty license plates specifically honors submarine veterans. C.S.H.B. 1525 seeks to address this issue by creating a specialty license plate for persons who served on a submarine while in the U.S. Navy.
