AB 37 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: personalized registration plate fees for gold star family special registration plates. (FE)

AB 37 eliminates fees for Gold Star families who maintain or reissue special license plates displaying the Gold Star family symbol. It specifically removes the $15 annual or $30 biennial maintenance fees and $15 annual or $30 reissuance fees that would otherwise apply to these plates. The bill directly affects families of military members who died in service, ensuring they pay no additional costs for these plates beyond the initial application. This policy change modifies existing fee structures under Wisconsin statute 341.145(3) to provide fee-free plate maintenance and reissuance for this designated group.
