To waive the one-time $10 fee for a Veterans license plate to any first-time applicants who have an Honorable Discharge from any branch of the United States Military
HB 5579 waives the one-time $10 application fee for West Virginia Veterans license plates for first-time applicants who have received an Honorable Discharge from any branch of the U.S. military. This change directly affects eligible veterans applying for their first military license plate, removing a $10 cost that would otherwise apply. The bill amends state code to specify that the fee is waived for these applicants when they provide required discharge documentation. It does not affect existing plate holders or other plate types, focusing solely on reducing barriers for new veteran license plate applications.
