Gold Star plates are offered to the
surviving spouse of Illinois residents who have been awarded the
Gold Star or to the surviving parent (if there is no spouse) or
sibling (if there is no surviving parent).
"Bill and Alvora Sandidge brought this
idea to my attention, and I am thrilled to see their suggestion gain
approval in the Senate," said Bomke. "It makes sense that Gold Star
plates should be included in the Circuit Breaker program when so
many other veteran and military plates are already included.
Currently, participants in the Circuit
Breaker program may apply for discount license plates. The discount
is available for standard car, truck or disabled plates, plates for
recreational vehicles, or Korean War or Purple Heart license plates.
Senate Bill 2453 would also include license plates for Gold Star
recipients under the Circuit Breaker discount.
Senate Bill
2453 gained unanimous approval in the Senate and now advances to the
House of Representatives for further consideration.
