Bill Summary
To (1) increase from sixty days to ninety days the grace period afforded to members of the armed forces, upon their return from service out of state, for the completion of certain motor vehicle-related renewals or testing, and (2) waive the fee for original issuance of a motor vehicle operator's license or identity card in the case of any person whose veteran status is verified by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill, effective October 1, 2026, makes two key changes concerning members of the armed forces and veterans interacting with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Firstly, it extends the grace period from sixty days to ninety days for members of the armed forces returning from out-of-state service to complete necessary motor vehicle-related renewals or testing, such as renewing a license or registration, or getting an emissions inspection. Secondly, it waives the fee for the original issuance of a motor vehicle operator's license or an identity card for any individual whose veteran status is verified by the Department of Veterans Affairs, meaning eligible veterans will no longer have to pay for their first license or ID.
