Verifying the veteran designation on a WY driver's license.

HB 39 amends Wyoming law to allow the Department of Transportation to accept military discharge documentation directly from the U.S. armed forces as proof of honorable veteran status, instead of requiring certification from the Wyoming Veterans' Commission. This change affects veterans who wish to have a "Veteran" designation (shown as a "V" or "Veteran" on the license) on their Wyoming driver's license or ID card. The bill updates the application process (W.S. 31-7-111) and the designation requirement (W.S. 31-7-141) to streamline verification. The change takes effect July 1, 2023, making the process more direct for veterans seeking this designation.
