AI Summary
This bill modifies Oregon's veterans' recognition registration plates program by expanding the circumstances under which veterans can receive a waiver for the $2.50 registration plate surcharge. Currently, Gold Star Family members can request a waiver, and the bill now adds that veterans with a United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability rating of at least 50 percent can also request a surcharge waiver, provided that the legislative assembly appropriates funds to cover the cost. The bill requires the Department of Transportation to waive the surcharge for eligible veterans and transfer the amount to a trust fund for Oregon Veterans' Homes. Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation to the Department of Transportation to cover the costs associated with these surcharge waivers, though the specific amount is left blank in the bill text. The broader context is to provide financial relief and recognition to veterans with significant service-related disabilities by reducing the cost of their vehicle registration plates.
