Assembly Bill 37 proposes an amendment to Wisconsin's statutes regarding personalized registration plate fees specifically for gold star family special registration plates. The bill exempts these plates from the $15 personalization fee that is typically charged for the issuance and maintenance of personalized plates. Currently, gold star family plate holders are required to pay the general registration fee but are not subject to the special registration fee. However, if they choose to personalize their plates, they must pay the personalization fee. This bill aims to alleviate that financial burden for gold star families.

The legal language in the bill includes the insertion of provisions that state no fee may be charged for the initial issuance of personalized plates for members of special groups, including gold star families. Additionally, it specifies that no fee will be required for the maintenance or reissuance of these plates displaying the applicable symbol of the special group. The bill is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its publication.
