Bill Summary

This bill changes rules regarding the distribution of special number plates for veterans and eligibility therefore.

AI Summary

This bill expands eligibility for special veteran number plates by allowing individuals with a "general discharge under honorable conditions" to receive them, in addition to those with an honorable discharge or an uncharacterized discharge due to a service-connected injury. It also removes a provision that allowed plates to be issued to certain World War II allied nation veterans. The bill clarifies that "RSA" refers to Revised Statutes Annotated, which are the compiled laws of New Hampshire, and that the "director" refers to the director of the division of motor vehicles. The changes aim to broaden the group of veterans who can benefit from these special plates, which are distinct from standard plates and have specific transferability rules for surviving spouses.
