AN ACT CONCERNING MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES, VETERANS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.
SB 283 extends the grace period for military members to renew motor vehicle licenses and registrations from 60 to 90 days after returning from active duty. It waives fees for both new driver's licenses and identity cards for veterans verified by Connecticut's Department of Veterans Affairs. The bill directly affects Connecticut residents on active military duty and veterans, providing financial relief during license renewals and identity verification. Key provisions include the 90-day extension for license/registration renewals (Section 1) and fee waivers for veterans (Sections 2 and 3), effective October 1, 2026.
