Senate committee approves lowering disability threshold for reduced veterans plates
The sponsor of HB292 explained the bill would allow disabled veterans rated 50% or more to apply for a reduced disabled license tag; current law requires 51% or more. The sponsor said the Department of Veterans Affairs issues ratings in 10% increments, which made the current 51% threshold impractical because applicants often have 50% ratings.

A senator seconded the bill, the committee proceeded with no objection to previous roll and gave HB292 a favorable report. The committee did not record additional amendments or fiscal impacts during the discussion.
