License plates to memorialize law enforcement officers gets House OK
By Jonathan Avise
Minnesota drivers may be able to honor law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty with special license plates.
Passed 125-0 by the House Monday, HF678 would create a special law enforcement memorial plate. Vehicle owners would need to pay a $10 fee and donate $25 to the Minnesota Law Enforcement Memorial Association to obtain the plate.
They would also be required to donate at least $5 in subsequent years.
“I think that it’s appropriate, with this bill, to allow for a memorial plate to honor and memorialize those law enforcement officers who have served and sacrificed on our behalf,” said Rep. Duane Quam (R-Bryon), the bill’s sponsor.
The bill now heads to the Senate, where Sen. David Senjem (R-Rochester) is the sponsor.
