HB 4141 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Award military veterans with a “Veterans” license plate

This bill amends West Virginia law to maintain a program exempting honorably discharged U.S. military veterans from vehicle registration fees, with only a $10 initial application fee required. It directly affects veterans, their surviving spouses (who may continue using a deceased veteran's plate), and Gold Star spouses (who receive full fee exemption for one plate). Key provisions include waiving all registration fees beyond the $10 application fee for eligible veterans, allowing multiple vehicles per applicant, and requiring verification of military service. The bill preserves existing special plate options rather than creating a new "Veterans" plate designation.
