The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to reduce the number of applicants required for a military organization to qualify for a special registration plate from 100 to 50, provided that the organization guarantees a minimum of 50 applicants. This change aims to make it easier for military organizations to obtain special plates, thereby promoting recognition and support for military personnel.

Additionally, the bill maintains provisions for the issuance of special plates to active, retired, or honorably discharged military personnel and their families, including a surviving spouse's ability to retain a deceased spouse's military license plate under certain conditions. It also exempts Gold Star spouses from registration fees for one Gold Star Family license plate, further supporting the families of veterans.
