Senate Bill 146 “An Act relating to commemorative veterans’ license plate; and providing for an effective date.”
Click for PDF: http://www.akdemocrats.org/sponsor/SB146_ss_sen_guess.pdfSenate Bill 146 creates a special request license plate commemorating veterans. These plates would be available for any Alaskan to purchase to show their support for veterans and the money may be appropriated for veterans’ programs. The license plates could be purchased for a one time fee of $100, with a biennial renewal fee of $35. Currently, many special request plates exist in Alaska. License plates to benefit the Alaska Children’s Trust, commemorating the arts, and plates to support dog mushing programs are available for purchase. Although veterans can purchase plates that recognize their military service, no license plate currently exists for Alaskans to show their support for veterans. Proceeds from the sale of these plates as well as the renewal fees may be set aside for programs benefiting Alaska veterans, including an Alaska Veterans’ Home. Alaska is the only state without a veterans’ home.
