Bill > HB248

This bill amends Maryland's transportation laws to expand motor vehicle registration fee exemptions for disabled veterans. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that exempts not more than one vehicle owned or leased by a veteran who is unemployable due to a service-connected disability from registration fees. This new exemption is added to the existing list of vehicle registration fee exemptions, which already includes vehicles owned by veterans with specific disability classifications, such as those who have lost the use of a limb, are totally disabled, or have significant visual impairments. The bill also specifies that this new exemption will take effect on October 1, 2025. The purpose of the bill appears to be providing additional financial relief to veterans who are unable to work due to disabilities sustained during their military service by reducing their vehicle registration costs.
