To eliminate additional fee from the WVDMV for honorably discharged veterans for “Veteran” vehicle registration plate
HB 2581 removes a $10 application fee for honorably discharged veterans applying for special military license plates in West Virginia. The bill amends existing law (§17A-3-14b) to eliminate the exception that previously allowed the fee to be charged for this group, clarifying that no fee applies. This directly affects honorably discharged veterans seeking the "Veteran" plate, as they will no longer pay the $10 fee at application. The change corrects a drafting error in current law, making the existing fee exemption explicit. The bill does not create new benefits but ensures the exemption is properly applied.
