Latest Action

Hearing (Senate)

Apr 1, 2026

Summary

The bill adds a new exemption so that a veteran who cannot work because of a service‑connected disability may have one vehicle—owned or leased and used personally—free of registration fees. It joins existing exemptions for veterans with severe limb loss, vision loss, surviving spouses, and certain religious school vehicles. The change aims to reduce financial burdens on veterans who are unable to earn an income.
