Summary

The bill rewrites the legal definition of a disabled veteran to include a wider range of mobility, vision, lung, heart, and other impairments. It requires the DMV to issue special license plates to any qualifying disabled veteran (and disabled persons) at no extra cost, and sets new certification and return rules. The changes expand eligibility for the plates to veterans who meet the new criteria, even if the condition is not service‑connected.
