Bill > HF1225

This bill amends Minnesota's all-terrain vehicle (ATV) registration statute to provide a free three-year registration for veterans with a total service-connected disability. Specifically, veterans who can demonstrate a 100 percent total and permanent service-connected disability rating from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or a military branch's retirement board will be exempt from the standard registration fees, which are typically $60 for public use and $6 for private use. The bill defines a "veteran with a total service-connected disability" by referencing existing veteran definitions and requiring documentation of their disability rating. By creating this new exemption, the legislation aims to provide a small but meaningful benefit to veterans who have sustained significant disabilities during their military service, removing a financial burden associated with ATV registration. The registration fees collected will continue to be credited to the all-terrain vehicle account, ensuring that the exemption does not disrupt funding for ATV-related programs.
