Bill > HF291

This bill reduces annual motor vehicle registration fees and special registration plate fees for disabled veterans by a percentage corresponding to their service-related disability rating. Specifically, for a single vehicle owned by a disabled veteran, the annual registration fee will be reduced by the same percentage as the veteran's disability rating, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). For example, a veteran with a 50% service-related disability rating would receive a 50% reduction in both their vehicle registration fee and any special or personalized plate fees. This provision applies to disabled veterans who are not already exempt from registration fees under existing law, providing financial relief that directly corresponds to the level of service-connected disability. The bill amends Section 321.109 of the Iowa Code for the year 2025, making this a targeted measure to support disabled veterans by reducing their motor vehicle-related expenses.
