This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to provide for one free Gold Star Family license plate for Gold Star parents, in addition to the existing provisions for Gold Star spouses. The legislation specifies that Gold Star parents, defined as the mother or father of a veteran eligible for a gold star lapel pin under 10 U.S.C. 1126, will be exempt from all registration fees for one Gold Star Family license plate for personal use.

The bill retains the current provisions for special registration plates for military personnel, including the initial application fee and documentation requirements. It also maintains the existing exemptions for Gold Star spouses, ensuring that both groups are recognized and supported through this legislation.
