This bill proposes an amendment to the Code of West Virginia, specifically targeting the application fee associated with special license plates for honorably discharged military personnel. Currently, there is a $10 application fee for these special plates; however, the bill seeks to eliminate this fee entirely for honorably discharged members of the military. The new legal language states that no application fee may be charged for special plates issued to these individuals, while maintaining the existing provisions for other military personnel and their families.

Additionally, the bill retains other relevant provisions regarding the issuance of special registration plates, including the requirement for applicants to provide documentation to prove their eligibility and the ability for surviving spouses to continue using military license plates. The legislation aims to honor and support veterans by removing financial barriers associated with obtaining special recognition through license plates.
