Bill Summary
A BILL to amend and reenact §17A-3-14b of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to reducing the number of applicants of a military organization for a special plate from 100 to 50, upon receipt of a guarantee from the organization of a minimum of 50 applicants.
AI Summary
This bill modifies West Virginia's existing law regarding special registration plates for military personnel by reducing the minimum number of applicants required from 100 to 50 for a military organization chartered by the United States Congress to obtain a special license plate. Currently, the law allows the Division of Motor Vehicles to issue special registration plates for active, retired, or honorably discharged military personnel, as well as for next of kin of service members killed in combat. The bill maintains the $10 initial application fee and the existing provisions that allow applicants to obtain plates for multiple vehicles and require documentation of military service. Additionally, the bill continues to provide a notable benefit for Gold Star spouses, exempting them from registration fees for one personal-use license plate. This change makes it easier for military organizations to qualify for specialized license plates by lowering the threshold of required applicants, potentially increasing recognition and support for military personnel.
