Purple Heart License Plate Amendment Act of 2024

This bill directs the District of Columbia Mayor to create and issue special license plates for individuals who have received the Purple Heart Award, as well as for their surviving spouses and children. To qualify for these plates, applicants must provide proof of their award or their relationship to a recipient, and they will pay a one-time application fee of $10 plus an annual display fee of $10. The collected fees will be deposited into the Office of Veterans Affairs Fund to support veteran services. This legislation aims to provide a specific form of recognition for service members wounded or killed in action, distinct from the existing disabled veteran license plates.
