MEMORANDUM

| 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. |
