(1) Upon application by a qualified applicant Beginning <--
as soon as practicable, but no later than 18 months following
the effective date of this subsection, the department shall
issue a driver's license or identification card that clearly
indicates that the person is a veteran of the United States
Armed Forces. A qualified applicant is an individual who has
served in the United States Armed Forces, including a reserve
component or the National Guard, and who was discharged or
released from such service under conditions other than

United States Department of Defense discharge document known
as a DD-214 or a National Guard Bureau discharge document
known as an NGB-22.
(2) Upon receipt of an application from a qualified <--
applicant accompanied by such documentation as the department
shall require, the department shall issue to the veteran a
driver's license or identification card displaying a veteran
designation. There shall be no fee for the veteran
designation, but the qualified applicant must pay any renewal
or duplicate driver's license or identification card fees.
(3) The department and the Department of Military and
Veterans Affairs shall enter into an agreement whereby the
Department of Military and Veterans Affairs shall reimburse
the Motor License Fund for the department's actual costs of
the issuance of a veteran's designation on drivers' licenses
and identification cards. Reimbursement shall be paid from
the Pennsylvania Veterans Trust Fund or such other funds
available for this purpose.

Section 2. This act shall take effect in 60 days.
