Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Military Surplus Identification Act. Provides that certain items of military surplus sold on or after the effective date of the Act shall display an indelible and permanent marking designed and approved by the Department of Military Affairs, by rule, clearly indicating it was sold as military surplus. Provides that the Department of Military Affairs shall determine the location of the markings on the items. Provides penalties for a violation of the Act.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that "military surplus" means vehicles and weapons from the Vietnam conflict era or later (instead of insignia, vehicles, and weapons).

 Fiscal Note (Department of Military Affairs)
