AN ACT relative to special number plates for veterans.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
160:1 Registration of Vehicles; Special Number Plates for Veterans; Proof of Honorable Discharge. Amend RSA 261:87-b to read as follows:
261:87-b Special Number Plates for Veterans. The director is hereby authorized to issue special number plates to be used on motor vehicles owned by veterans of the United States armed services, in lieu of other number plates. The design of these special plates shall be determined by the commissioner, and shall be distinct from the design or designs of those plates issued under RSA 261:86. Such plates shall be issued only upon application, [and] proof of honorable discharge from the armed services as deemed appropriate by the director, [as evidenced by submission of a copy of the applicant's DD214 verification of service form,] and [upon] payment of a one time $25 fee to recover production and administrative costs that shall be in addition to the regular motor vehicle registration fee and any other number plate fees otherwise required. Renewals of such special number plates shall be charged the fee assessed for standard motor vehicles as prescribed under RSA 261:141. The plates furnished pursuant to this section are non-transferable and shall expire upon the death of the veteran.
160:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
