Bill would allow for new license plates for veterans

JUNEAU -- Veterans who have received certain medals could have additional license plates to choose from.

The House Military and Veterans' Affair Committee on Thursday advanced a bill that would allow the state Division of Motor Vehicles to produce new license plate for veterans.

The new plates would be for those veterans who received a Bronze or Silver star, or other meritorious awards related to valor in battle.

The bill was sponsored by Anchorage Reps. Les Gara, Liz Vazquez, Bob Lynn, Gabrielle LeDoux and Max Gruenberg.
