Bill Summary
Establishing that not more than one vehicle owned by, or leased to, an unemployable disabled veteran is exempt from vehicle registration fees.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies that an unemployable disabled veteran, meaning a veteran who is unable to work due to a disability connected to their military service, can only claim an exemption from vehicle registration fees for one vehicle they own or lease and personally use. This provision is being added to existing law that already exempts certain vehicles owned or leased by disabled veterans, including those with specific physical impairments or vision loss, and also vehicles owned by surviving spouses of disabled veterans and school vehicles operated by religious organizations. The change takes effect on October 1, 2026.
