The bill amends Section 31-6-8 of the General Laws in Chapter 31-6, which pertains to registration fees for disabled veterans. It establishes that any veteran who has been honorably discharged and has suffered significant injuries or disabilities related to their service is eligible for "Disabled Veteran" registration plates.

Key provisions of the bill include:

1. The ability for "Disabled Veteran" plates to be transferred to the veteran's spouse during the veteran's lifetime if the veteran is certified as no longer able to operate a vehicle.
2. Upon the death of the initial registrant of the Disabled Veteran plates, the plates may be transferred to the surviving spouse, provided they do not remarry.
3. Only one set of Disabled Veteran plates will be issued to an eligible veteran or their spouse, contingent upon certification of eligibility from the Veterans Administration or other satisfactory documentation.

This act will take effect upon passage.
