AN ACT CONCERNING MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND CERTAIN DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES FINES OR LATE FEES.

SB 631 exempts active-duty members of the armed forces serving outside Connecticut from Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) fines or late fees if they miss vehicle license, registration, or emissions testing deadlines due to deployment. The bill applies directly to military members who cannot complete these requirements while deployed out of state. It waives associated fines and late fees provided the member completes the renewal or testing within 90 days of returning to Connecticut. This policy change creates a specific grace period for military personnel facing unavoidable scheduling conflicts during service.
