Bill Summary
Under current law, a veteran who is disabled and who meets certain standards does not need to pay the taxes and fees to register one motor vehicle. The veteran is issued a disabled veteran license plate with the "D.V." inscription or a United States disabled woman veteran license plate. The bill authorizes the veteran to be issued another plate in lieu of being issued either of the license plates for veterans who are disabled if the veteran qualifies for the plate. If the plate requires additional fees to be issued or renewed, the additional fees must also be paid unless the plate is a military license plate. This program does not apply to commercial vehicles, implements of husbandry, or farm trucks or truck tractors that are taxed at a reduced rate.
AI Summary
This bill allows disabled veterans who qualify for tax and fee exemptions on one motor vehicle registration to choose a different license plate in lieu of the standard "D.V." (disabled veteran) or disabled woman veteran plates, provided they meet the qualifications for the new plate and pay any additional fees associated with it, unless it's a military license plate. The bill clarifies that the exemption from registration taxes and fees for disabled veterans applies to individuals who have incurred a service-connected disability of 50% or more, or have lost the use of limbs or vision, and are receiving compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the armed forces. This exemption does not apply to commercial vehicles, implements of husbandry (like farm machinery), or certain farm trucks and truck tractors taxed at a reduced rate.
