Illinois veterans have earned the right to proudly display the honors they received through their service to our country. A new law will now give them more opportunities to do so.
House Bill 4385 allows eligible veterans and military honorees to receive a second set of military specialty license plates. Previously, qualifying veterans were limited to one set, even if they owned multiple vehicles.
Illinois offers specialty plates recognizing numerous military honors and decorations, including Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross Medal, Silver Star Medal, Legion of Merit Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross Medal, Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Southwest Asia Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, United States Submarine Veterans, Global War, and the Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
These plates are a small but meaningful way to recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans. I’m glad we were able to make this simple change and give our veterans another opportunity to be recognized for their service to our country.
