                                  CHAPTER 4
                          MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION
    49-403.  DISABLED VETERAN -- LICENSE PLATES. No fee shall be charged for
the registration or reregistration of a motor vehicle owned by a veteran who
has established his rights to benefits under the provisions of Public Law 662,
79th Congress, as amended, and Public Law 187, 82nd Congress, as amended. The
provisions of this section shall not apply to any vehicle with a registered
maximum gross weight over twenty-six thousand (26,000) pounds, nor to any
vehicle registered under section 49-434(5), Idaho Code. No fee shall be
charged for the registration or reregistration of a motor vehicle owned by a
veteran, who is at the time of the registration or reregistration receiving
compensation from the veterans administration or in lieu thereof, from any of
the armed forces of the United States, for one hundred percent (100%)
service-connected disability or for any of the following specific
disabilities: Loss or permanent loss of use of one (1) or both feet; loss or
permanent loss of use of one (1) or both hands; loss of sight in both eyes or
permanent impairment of vision in both eyes to the degree as to constitute
virtual blindness. These provisions shall be considered applicable not only as
to the vehicle originally purchased under this authorization, but also as to
any vehicle subsequently purchased and owned by the same veteran, so long as
the privilege shall not extend to more than one (1) vehicle at a time. Special
license plates shall be issued for such a vehicle, identified by the
inscription "D.V.", and a separate number series shall be used to further
identify the license plates so issued. These license plates shall not be
issued by the counties but shall be issued by the department. The plates shall
be displayed in accordance with the procedure applicable to license plates set
forth in section 49-428, Idaho Code. A vehicle displaying plates issued in
accordance with the provisions of this section shall be afforded the same
privileges specified in section 49-410(7), Idaho Code.
