CHAPTER 315

HOUSE BILL 765

 

AN ACT TO PERMIT THE WIDOWS OF EX-PRISONERS OF WAR TO RETAIN THE DISTINCTIVE REGISTRATION PLATE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

 

Whereas, the wives of the men captured by the enemy of the United States of America during time of war having suffered along with the men; and

Whereas, these wives, who have stood by their men during those years and during the years after when the men were recuperating, are deserving of recognition by the State; and

Whereas, it is estimated that only about 25 widows would be affected by the provisions of this bill each year; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  G.S. 20-81.4(a1) is amended by adding a new sentence at the end to read:

"The widows of the ex-prisoners of war may renew, and the Division may reissue without charge, the plates issued pursuant to this subsection until the widow either remarries or fails to renew the registration plate."

Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 3rd day of June, 1985.
