SB 1034 (Vehicles: Special License Plates)

SB 1034 expands California’s definition of ‘disabled veteran’ to include more medical conditions that qualify veterans for special license plates and parking placards. The bill recognizes conditions such as severe arthritis, neurological disorders, vision impairments, heart disease, and lung disease. Notably, it allows 100% permanently disabled veterans to obtain special license plates based on general disability standards, even if their mobility limitations are not service-connected, potentially benefiting thousands of veterans whose disabilities developed after military service.
