More Guam relatives get Gold Star plates
The law expands Guam Gold Star license plates to siblings and children of deceased U.S. service members. Siblings include half-siblings and stepsiblings. Children include biological, adopted, and stepchildren. Parents and surviving spouses remain eligible. Parents include stepparents, adoptive parents, and foster parents who acted as parents. The service member’s death must fall within one of these groups: World War I, World War II, or later U.S. armed hostilities before July 1, 1958; deaths after June 30, 1958, in action against a U.S. enemy or military operations involving an opposing foreign force; or deaths after June 30, 1958, while serving with friendly foreign forces in a conflict where the United States was not a combatant. Deaths after March 28, 1973, also qualify when caused by an international terrorist attack against the United States or a friendly foreign nation, recognized by the Secretary of Defense. That same date applies to deaths caused by military operations while serving with a peacekeeping force outside the United States, including its territories and possessions. The expansion takes effect upon enactment. The law makes no explicit changes to plate fees.
