32-5-109.2. Special plates for Purple Heart recipients--Surrender of plates--Violation as misdemeanor. Any resident veteran owner of a motor vehicle who has received the Purple Heart Medal may apply to the secretary to receive a maximum of two sets of special license plates for any automobile, pickup truck, or van licensed pursuant to § 32-5-5 or a motorcycle licensed pursuant to § 32-5-9. The veteran may choose to use one of the two sets of plates on a noncommercial motor vehicle that is a pickup truck and that weighs more than six thousand pounds licensed pursuant to § 32-5-6.3 or a motor home licensed pursuant to § 32-5-6.1. The veteran shall pay the regular license fees set out in §§ 32-5-6.3 and 32-5-6.1 and may not be required to pay the ten dollars for the special plates and renewal stickers. The fee for the special license plates and the renewal stickers shall be ten dollars. The special plates shall be numbered consecutively beginning with number 1 and contain a symbol to be determined by the secretary indicating that the owner has received the Purple Heart Medal. The special plates shall be displayed as set forth in § 32-5-98. The special license plate shall be reflectorized and validated each year with a sticker in the same manner as a noncommercial license plate. No license fees or renewal fees may be charged to the applicant pursuant to § 32-5-6 or 32-5-9. If it is determined that the veteran owner does not qualify for the special plates or if the veteran owner dies, the plates shall be surrendered to the county treasurer of the applicant's residence. The treasurer shall notify the secretary who shall make the necessary changes in the registration file. Failure to surrender the special license plates as required by this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor.
