Lawmakers Consider Women Military License Plate

A bill in the State Senate would establish a specialized license plate to honor women serving in the military. The measure introduced by 23rd district Senator Christine Rolfes says 58,000 women in Washington are serving or have served in the military with just over 10,000 of them are on active duty. Officials say women are the fastest growing segment of the veteran population nationwide with 1.9 million. If approved the plate would be the state’s 41st specialty plate.
