AI Summary
This bill expands the exemption from annual vehicle registration fees for disabled veterans and their unremarried surviving spouses to include vehicles displaying standard license plates, not just the special "DV" plates currently designated for disabled veterans. This means that eligible disabled veterans or their surviving spouses can now receive this fee waiver even if their vehicle has regular license plates, as long as they provide certification that their disability is service-related, which is a requirement already in place for obtaining special "DV" plates. The bill clarifies that this exemption applies to vehicles with standard license plates issued under Article 9 of the relevant code section, which pertains to general vehicle registration.
