Summary
The bill directs the state registrar to issue an Orange Star plate at no cost to eligible Vietnam veterans who have a VA‑documented condition linked to Agent Orange. Surviving spouses of deceased veterans may keep the plate by paying the normal registration fee plus an extra $20 each year, but only while they remain unmarried. The plate serves as a state‑approved symbol of appreciation, not a military medal.
