Bill > SF1526

This bill amends Minnesota's all-terrain vehicle (ATV) registration law to provide a free three-year registration for veterans with a total service-connected disability. Specifically, the bill defines a "veteran with a total service-connected disability" as a veteran who has received a 100 percent total and permanent service-connected disability rating, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or the retirement board of a military branch. Under the current law, ATV registrations typically cost $60 for public use or $6 for private use for a three-year period. The new provision completely waives this registration fee for qualifying veterans, allowing them to obtain their ATV registration at no cost. This change recognizes the service and sacrifices of veterans with total service-connected disabilities by eliminating a financial burden associated with ATV registration. The bill maintains the existing fee structure for other ATV owners, including dealers and manufacturers, and ensures that the registration fee exemption is specifically targeted to veterans with a 100 percent disability rating.
