This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to exempt honorably discharged veterans from paying vehicle registration fees, with the exception of a special initial application fee of $10. The legislation specifically modifies the existing provisions regarding special registration plates for military personnel, allowing the Division to issue these plates without charging additional fees for registration, renewal, or other licensing for the first special plate issued to veterans.

Additionally, the bill maintains the provision that surviving spouses of deceased military personnel can continue to use their spouse's military license plate under certain conditions. It also clarifies that Gold Star spouses are exempt from all registration fees for one Gold Star Family license plate for personal use. Overall, the bill aims to provide financial relief to veterans and their families regarding vehicle registration costs.
