Related bill: HF1783
AI Generated Summary
The bill SF No. 353 in Minnesota proposes the creation of special license plates called the "Legion of Merit" special license plates. These plates are specifically for individuals who have received the Legion of Merit honor. To be eligible, applicants must own a vehicle like a passenger car, one-ton pickup truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle, and must handle all regular vehicle registration requirements and fees. The design of the license plates will include the phrase "LEGION OF MERIT."
The special license plates would be issued free of charge at the time of vehicle registration renewal or first registration, and no fees would be charged for these plates in subsequent years. If these plates are damaged, replacements will also be provided for free. Additionally, these plates can be transferred to another vehicle without a fee, provided it belongs to the same owner and meets eligibility criteria. These special plates would be exempt from certain other usual regulations regarding special license plates.
