Minnesota Legislature
House steps to the plate for wounded vets on motorcycles
By Jonathan Avise
Minnesota could soon offer the state’s wounded combat veterans another license plate to honor their service.
Passed by the House 128-0 Thursday, HF2092, sponsored by Rep. Kathy Brynaert (DFL-Mankato), would establish a wounded combat veteran motorcycle license plate. The bill now goes to the Senate, where Sen. Kathy Sheran (DFL-Mankato) is the sponsor.
The plates, pushed for by a group of Mankato veterans, would be a scaled-down version of the state’s existing Purple Heart plates available for automobiles, heavy non-commercial trucks and recreational vehicles.
"It'd make a lot of wounded vets happy back in Mankato who started this, and across the state,” said Rep. Tony Cornish (R-Vernon Center).
