60-4,189. Operator's license; state identification card; notation of word "veteran"; Department of Motor Vehicles; duties; replacement license or card.

(1) An operator's license or a state identification card shall include a notation of the word "veteran" on the front of the license or card as directed by the department if the individual applying for such license or card is eligible for the license or card and (a) has served on active duty in the armed forces of the United States, other than active duty for training, and was discharged or otherwise separated with a characterization of honorable or general (under honorable conditions) from such service, (b) registers with the Department of Veterans' Affairs pursuant to section 80-414 as verification of such service, and (c) indicates on the application under section 60-484 his or her wish to include such notation on his or her license or card.

(2) The Department of Motor Vehicles shall consult the registry established pursuant to section 80-414 before placing the notation of the word "veteran" on the operator's license or state identification card issued to the applicant. Such notation shall not be authorized unless the registry verifies the applicant's eligibility. If the Director of Motor Vehicles discovers evidence of fraud in an application under this section, the director may summarily cancel the license or state identification card and send notice of the cancellation to the licensee or cardholder. If the Department of Motor Vehicles has information that an individual is no longer eligible for the notation, the department may summarily cancel the license and send notice of the cancellation to the licensee or cardholder. The notation shall not be restored until the Department of Motor Vehicles subsequently verifies the applicant's eligibility by consulting the registry of the Department of Veterans' Affairs.

(3) The notation authorized in subsection (1) of this section shall continue to be included on the license or card upon renewal of such license or card if the licensee or cardholder, at the time of renewal, indicates the desire to include the notation.

(4) An individual may obtain a replacement operator's license or state identification card to add or remove the notation authorized in subsection (1) of this section by applying to the Department of Motor Vehicles for such replacement license or card and, if adding the notation, by meeting the requirements of subsection (1) of this section. The fee for such replacement license or card shall be the fee provided in section 60-4,115.
