Bill > H3353

This bill aims to clarify and expand the motor vehicle-related tax and fee exemptions for certain disabled veterans in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. It expands the eligibility criteria for the exemptions to include veterans with a service-connected combined disability rating of 60% or more, as determined by the U.S. Veterans Administration, without the need to go through the Medical Advisory Board process. 2. It allows veterans with the required disability rating to receive the exemptions even if they do not use the disabled veteran number plates. 3. It establishes that the verification of the disability rating can be done by any licensed Massachusetts physician, not just those working for the Veterans Administration. 4. It directs the responsible authorities to ensure that the application process for the exemptions is not overly burdensome for eligible veterans.
