This bill creates special registration plates for specific groups of veterans and their families. It allows applicants who were prisoners of war, World War I veterans, Pearl Harbor survivors, or recipients of the Purple Heart Medal to receive plates with identifying numbers and phrases. Additionally, the bill establishes plates for Gold Star Families (families of fallen service members) and Blue Star Families (families of currently serving members), as well as a ‘Next of Kin’ plate for the immediate family of deceased service members.
