Bill > HF2120

This bill expands motor vehicle tax and fee exemptions to include active volunteer firefighters, in addition to the existing exemption for veterans with total service-connected disabilities. Specifically, the bill allows volunteer firefighters who provide documentation from their fire department chief to be exempt from various registration taxes, administrative fees, filing fees, surcharges, and plate and validation sticker fees for up to two motor vehicles. The exemptions apply to passenger automobiles, one-ton pickup trucks, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles, and can extend to vehicles jointly registered with a spouse or domestic partner. The bill clarifies that the exemptions do not include personalized plate fees or special plate contributions. The new provisions will become effective for registration periods starting on or after January 1, 2026, providing tax relief and recognition for volunteer firefighters who serve their local communities.
