AN ACT relative to retention of special number plates for veterans by surviving spouses.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Special Number Plates for Veterans; Surviving Spouse. Amend RSA 261:87-b, I to read as follows:
I. 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 to veterans as defined in RSA 21:50, I(a) upon application, proof of veteran status in a form authorized by RSA 21:50, I(b), and payment of the regular motor vehicle registration fee and the $4 per plate fees under RSA 261:75. The director shall also issue such plates to any person providing proof of honorable discharge from the armed services of any nation allied with the United States during World War II and proof of such person’s service during World War II. 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, except that the surviving spouse may use the plates [for one year after the death of the veteran and shall be eligible to replace the plates during that year at no charge under RSA 261:75] until he or she remarries.
2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
