Veteran Servicewomen Bill By Hatboro Lawmaker Passes House

HATBORO, PA —In a landmark moment of recognition for the contributions of women in the military, the House of Representatives has passed the Woman Veteran License Plate Bill.

The legislation —introduced by State Rep. Nancy Guenst, D-Montgomery, a veteran of the U.S. Army —now advances to the Senate for further consideration.

“The Woman Veteran License Plate represents a small yet powerful gesture of gratitude and recognition for the nearly 66,000 women veterans in Pennsylvania,” Guenst said. “With this special license plate, these courageous women will have the opportunity to proudly display their service on their passenger vehicles or motorcycles, showcasing their dedication and commitment to our country.”

The Woman Veteran License Plate Bill, designed to pay tribute to the service and sacrifices of women in the military, authorizes a special vehicle registration plate that designates the owner as a woman veteran.

The special plate will be open for both motorcycle and passenger vehicle owners, costing an additional $26 above the standard registration fee.

Of this fee, $15 goes directly to the Veterans Trust Fund, supporting critical services for veterans in need.

Guenst stated she is honored to lead this important initiative, which not only pays homage to the women who have bravely served our nation but also serves as an enduring symbol of empowerment for future generations of women in uniform.
