Bill > H465

This bill amends North Carolina's driver's license renewal fee regulations to waive the standard renewal fee for two specific groups of military-connected individuals: active duty service members and veterans. Currently, driver's license renewals require a fee based on the class of license and number of years issued, typically around $5.50 per year. Under this new legislation, individuals who have either an active duty military designation or a veteran military designation will be exempt from paying the renewal fee when they renew their driver's license. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all license renewals on or after that date. This change represents a small but meaningful gesture of appreciation for military service members and veterans, reducing their administrative costs and providing a modest financial benefit to those who have served or are currently serving in the United States military.
