Motor Vehicle Registration - Fee Exemption - Unemployable Disabled Veterans

HB 248 adds a new exemption to Maryland's vehicle registration fee rules, allowing unemployable disabled veterans with service-connected disabilities to register one personal vehicle fee-free. The bill specifically targets veterans whose military service caused a disability preventing them from working, as certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It amends Maryland's Transportation Article to create a new category (13-903(a)(11)) for these veterans, replacing an outdated reference to "unemployable" status with clearer language about service-connected disability. The exemption takes effect October 1, 2025.
