Bill Summary
Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in fees, further providing for exemption of persons, entities and vehicles from fees.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania vehicle registration law to provide a registration fee exemption for disabled veterans receiving benefits for service-related injuries or disabilities. Specifically, veterans who receive disability benefits from military service and have a total annual income of $19,200 or less will be charged only a $10 processing fee instead of a full registration fee. The bill requires that, unless the veteran is physically or mentally unable to drive, they must be the principal driver of the vehicle, though they may occasionally authorize another person to drive the vehicle. This provision aims to provide financial relief for veterans with service-connected disabilities by reducing their vehicle registration costs. The new law will take effect 90 days after its enactment, giving time for the Department of Transportation to implement the changes to its registration process.
