Description

Special license plates; NOT FORGOTTEN. Authorizes the issuance of revenue-sharing special license plates for supporters of Americans listed as prisoners of war or missing in action bearing the legend NOT FORGOTTEN. The bill requires that the design of such plate incorporate the POW/MIA Flag as designated by the federal National POW/MIA Flag Act. The bill exempts these special license plates from the requirement to obtain 450 prepaid applications for such plate. The bill provides that some of the license plate fees will be deposited in the POW/MIA Fund, established within the Department of Accounts, and paid annually to the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia and used to support its operation and programs in Virginia.
