Lower plate fees for Gold Star families

Wisconsin exempts Gold Star family plates from the $15 personalization fee and the additional $15 special-plate fee. Wisconsin also cannot charge eligible Gold Star family members to maintain or reissue qualifying personalized special-group plates. Those plates must display the Gold Star family symbol. Regular vehicle registration fees still apply. The law takes effect on the first day of the seventh month beginning after publication.
