Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to exempt vehicle registration fees for veterans, by lowering the percentage of a service-connected disability required for exemption from 100 percent to 50 percent or greater.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to expand the exemption from vehicle registration fees for disabled veterans. Previously, only veterans with a 100 percent total and permanent service-connected disability were eligible for this exemption for one non-commercial vehicle. The proposed change, indicated by the `<ins>` tag, lowers this requirement to a disability rating of 50 percent or greater, as certified by the Director of the Department of Veterans' Affairs of West Virginia, while still limiting the exemption to one non-commercial vehicle. This aims to provide financial relief to a broader group of veterans who have sustained significant service-connected disabilities.
