The committee gave a do‑pass recommendation, 8-0, to a bill that would increase the number of disabled‑veteran license plates a qualifying veteran may receive from two to four.
The House Veterans and Military Affairs Committee voted 8-0 to report a bill that would increase the cap on disabled‑veteran license plates from two to four for veterans with at least 50% disability ratings, Representative George said when presenting the measure.
Representative George described the bill as a narrow change despite a 30‑page bill text: "Even though it's 30 something pages long, it really does one little thing," he said, adding the change responds to constituent requests from his district near Tinker Air Force Base.
Committee members asked why different caps appear across the bill's pages and whether the bill consolidates earlier disparate provisions. Representative George said the current bill package reflects a “hodgepodge” of provisions accumulated over time and that he was addressing this one specific issue.
There was no extended debate. The motion to report the bill as do pass was moved and seconded; the clerk announced eight ayes and zero nays and the committee reported the bill as do pass out of committee.
The transcript does not specify next steps or an effective date for the proposed change.
