(b)

Specify circumstances under which the department may cease to issue veterans’ recognition registration plates.

(d)

Specify what constitutes proof that a person is a surviving family member of a person who was killed in action during an armed conflict while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. The department may only issue a veterans’ recognition registration plate displaying a gold star decal and the words “Gold Star Family” to a person who is a parent, sibling, spouse or dependent of a person who was killed in action during an armed conflict while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.

If the department issues a veterans’ recognition registration plate that names, describes or represents a veterans’ group, that veterans’ group may designate an account into which the net proceeds of the surcharge collected by the department under this section are to be deposited. The department shall keep accurate records of the number of plates issued under this paragraph for each veterans’ group and, after payment of administrative expenses of the department, shall deposit moneys collected under this subsection into the specified account.

(a)

In consultation with the Department of Transportation, the Director of Veterans’ Affairs shall design the veterans’ recognition registration plate.

(c)

The department shall add a gold star decal and the words “Gold Star Family” to a veterans’ recognition registration plate background to recognize surviving family members of persons killed in action during an armed conflict while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.

(d)

Except as otherwise required by the design, veterans’ recognition registration plates must comply with the requirements of ORS 803.535 (Size, form, material, color, design, contents).

(4)

The department shall determine how many sets of veterans’ recognition registration plates will be manufactured. If the department does not sell or issue renewal for 500 sets of veterans’ recognition registration plates in any one year, the department shall cease production of veterans’ recognition registration plates.
