The bill would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to provide for the availability of military specialty license plates for motorcycles.

Upon proper application and payment of the $5 service fee, the Secretary of State must issue one or more special registration plates for each applicant for use on a passenger vehicle. Under the bill, the Secretary of State also would have to issue one or more such plates for use on a motorcycle.
