Rep. Schmidt Issues Statement After His Military Bill Passed the House

SPRINGFIELD - State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt)'s legislation to honor Illinois veterans and service members passed the House unanimously. House Bill 4385 now advances to the Senate for further consideration. Schmidt filed HB4385 to expand access to military license plates as a small but meaningful way to recognize those who have served our country.

"This bill allows veterans and service members who already have military plates to obtain an identical set for a second vehicle without jumping to unnecessary hoops," Rep. Schmidt said. "It is a simple way to show our appreciation and make things a little easier for those who have sacrificed for our country."

HB4385 passed the House unanimously with a vote of 111-0.

Representative Kevin Schmidt represents the 114th District, which includes a portion of St. Clair County.
