MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 20, 2013 04:28 PM
From: Senator Lisa Baker
To: All Senate members
Subject: “Honoring Our Veterans” License Plate for Motorcycles
 


Please join me in co-sponsoring a two-bill package to authorize an “Honoring Our Veterans” license plate for motorcycles, with $15 of the fee earmarked for veterans in need through the Veterans Trust Fund.

As you may recall, last year the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 1531, now Act 194 of 2012, which created the Veterans Trust Fund and authorized the issuance of an “Honoring Our Veterans” license plate for passenger cars and trucks. The plate costs $35 for non-veterans, with $15 of that amount donated to the Veterans Trust Fund. Veterans themselves can obtain the plate for $20. Money in the Trust Fund is dedicated to helping needy veterans with food, utilities, mortgage or rent payments, health care and other necessities of life.

Since the enactment of Senate Bill 1531, many motorcyclists have indicated that they would like to purchase the license plate as well. For this plate, like the plate for passenger cars and trucks, purchasers are not required to be a veteran to buy it -- just a supporter of veterans. The same fee structure and objectives apply.










Document #1

Introduced as SB1146

Description:  
The first bill amends Title 51 (Military Affairs).
 

Document #2

Introduced as SB1147

Description:  
The second bill amends Title 75 (Vehicles).



Thank you for your consideration in extending this plate to an even greater number of Pennsylvania drivers who want to honor and assist our veterans.
